But if you are already going to tuck tail and run, at least have a plan to take the people with you who helped you along the way.

Considering the pictures we saw on the tarmac, it's almost certain that death or torture that awaits them at the hands of the Taliban.
A disgusting lack of leadership by the west to not have a plan to save these folks as they leave Afghanistan to their own devices. Tragic.

I struggle to see how it was logistically possible to get all Afghans that worked for or with the Coalition out.
What was the estimate of individuals that needed to be taken out of the country?
