How exactly were people supposed to get to Bagram from Kabul?

The “should’ve been bagram” response is common from folks that never had to secure anything larger than a fighting position. HKIA kissed the Green Zone where every embassy was located. No other location could’ve been secured with the force presence in country.

It's common from anyone who just wants to act like they could have done better.

I don't say this to be flippant, but how was everyone supposed to get to Kabul from every corner of the country? Had those in charge accepted the reality following Doha Agreement, things are different. Instead, they sat on their hands and did nothing and we were left with August 2021.

The people being evacuated were Western aligned elites in Kabul. How many people got out from around the country?

You think you're so smart from your smug perch, in reality, the war was lost 20 years ago.
