They gave up Bagram Air Base because it was not logistically good to get evacuees out. One has nothing to do with the other. Then use Kabul. Why would you turn over Bagram to the Chinese??
And why did they leave people there? They keep talking about those they got out without mentioning a hundred on the most wanted list for terrorism! Never mentioning the older men married to little girls being brought to a country that doesn't believe in pedophilia.
What about leaving them 3.5 billion dollars of our tax money it does not belong to the military to do that!
Don't get me started with the weapons!
An absolute shit show with more zero accountability for the people of the United States and those committing war crimes.
Yet this morning on Great Awakening all I see are jokes and Babylon Bee and making fun while America burns.... Feeling like I'm the only researcher left around here.
I've lived on several different installations in Afghanistan. I lived Bagram for a year, Kandahar for a year and due to my job, dozens of FOB/COP's for up to six months at a time.
There is no better place in Afghanistan that is logistically better than Bagram air base for getting evacuees out. Everyone living there knew that, and that's why you saw trains of people trying to get to Bagram when they knew the shit had hit the fan.
That's an utter, total and complete lie and anyone who served over there knows it.
can confirm. Bagram was way more defendable and already had control points and areas to stage people for vetting and evac in orderly fashion.
One of many lies told to our Congress by these men
