"Biden Touts 'Incredible' Evacuation Operation From Kabul, But Warns Of Ongoing Danger"
Sorry... I don't buy the "touting." Too bad all pro-Trump fans have evacuated this forum... because right now I'd be agreeing with them about just how badly this administration screwed this up.
Hostile Country Evacuation 101 -
First you systematically and safely evacuate American citizens, while maintaining sufficient military presence to ensure the operation. This includes control of the airport and/or other ports of exit.
Then... you begin to withdraw other key personnel not vital to the military presence that must be maintained throughout the evacuation.
And so on and so forth.
In short... there is (or should be) some heavy-duty logistics involved to ensure everything goes well, safely, and according to plan.
This not only to guarantee the safety of all evacuees... but to avoid looking foolish to the rest of the world.
It's not like the U.S. hasn't had practice at this already.
