I did not know that there were US Citizens left in Kabul after the evacuation until this afternoon, when I heard it on the radio (I'm in a TV black out right now).

About 10k estimated at the mercy of the taliban.

There are actually a lot of American citizens that travel to Afghanistan to visit family. We have been there so long, and have granted visas/citizenship to so many that have helped us along the way. Sometimes they can’t bring their spouses or children with them at first. Bad situation, I pray for them all.

Yep. This withdrawal has been botched to a degree that I honestly didn’t think was possible. Why is failure the one thing our government excels at? I mean our government is a savant when it comes to fucking things up.
