Which is why no one was hurt at the Kabul airport, all the suicide bombers were walking the roads between Kabul and Bagram.
If the threat was a large scale attack from the Taliban, you'd have a point. That wasn't the threat. The threat was lone jihadists. You do the lone jihadist a favor by telling the world that everyone is going to be in one place, especially when that one place is impossible to secure.

Love your logic Jim spread it out no suicide bombers lol
I guess you for got about a little thing called an a IED they get placed on roads dirt paths you name it ..

IEDs and Suicide bombers are the #1 killer of Americans.
Yet 120 thousand plus people got out and tragically 13 service members died Like I’ve said conservatives love war just not the dying part
But I get it .. imaginary outcomes are always preferred by conservatives .. ask the pillow guy
