I don’t think this was a school trip. They were a group of Afghanis at the same school who went over with their families. Americans by convenience.

“I’m curious why I’m not seeing family members of these Americans who have been left behind on social media or cable news raising hell?”

Censorship

How many of America’s finest service dogs were left behind?

There was a bunch of kids...maybe 23...on a trip for school I think. Havene’t heard anything about them.

24, they were all Afghan nationals traveling with family members to bask in the wonders of a taliban Kabul. Please don't confuse these people with actual Sworn, Natural, or Loyal Americans.

No American in their right mind would have missed the May 1st deadline.

These are afghanis who got sponsored by Lord knows who, so they can cheat Welfare, Social Security, etc.

Holding a blue passport doesn't make you an "American" in my eyes or the eyes of the unenforced laws.

Iconic photo of the Taliban “leaders” in power....

So their reward for brutalizing, kidnapping, raping, torturing, burning, shooting and beheading their various opponents is to sit at the head of the table and be in total command? With American advanced weapons and vehicles at their disposal?

Biden’s policies have left something terribly wrong with this picture.

May God protect the Americans and others left behind.

"On Hannity tonight one of the fathers said Joe looked at his watch every time one of our heroes was loaded into the vans..."

Yes, I saw that and the other father confirmed it along with saying he met with Biden and it didn't go well since Biden spent more time talking about Beau Biden than the father's son. Looking at his watch after each coffin is placed in its hearse is not bumbling Biden, it is deliberate cruelty.

Widow crying....

That picture sent a jolt through me as have ones from past tragic losses of brave protectors in the services. She will never repair the hole in her life as her husband was taken away.

May God guide these families through this mourning and heal their suffering.

I think those kids were Afghan kids who had moved to San Diego with their family. They and some of their parents had spent the summer with relatives in Afghanistan. Whether that’s true or not, who knows, but as a freeper said, it’s not the glee club or the chess club.

And totally stunned that the left is quiet. What a bunch of hypocrites!
Quiet like Fox News on election night complicitly watching felonious election fraud, real time, happening right before their eyes.

Intentionally betraying a legally elected President and an entire nation...What a bunch of hypocrites! indeed.

Biden and Fox have American's blood on their hands.

U.S citizens who filled out a repatriation request or were enrolled in the STEP program were contacted by telephone several times. That’s a know number of citizens perhaps a few hundred at most.

I’m making an educated guess that the ones who didn’t take up an evacuation offer have more family in Afghanistan than the U.S. Family beyond a spouse and children who would have been able to evacuate with the citizen. Some of the US citizens were former SIVs who returned to Afghanistan for family visits.

After the chaos of the last few weeks settles we should have a cleared sense of the situation.

Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue: "We did not get everybody out that we wanted to..."

At least it sounds better than "We got out everybody we intended to get out."

And what’s with this General McKenzie? Seems like he’s totally on board with leaving Americans behind to be slaughtered by the Taliban. He sounds like the Marine equivalent of the sackless Milley and Austin. Odungo purged any real fighting men from the military leadership, leaving only the yes-men and woketards.

General Donahue: “its a tough situation.” Hey General, if it’s too tough for you maybe you should step aside and let someone who is tougher handle it.
This is symptomatic of why we re failing as a nation. Psaki says there is nothing we can do because of the “reality on the ground.” What the hell do we have a military for? If not to CHANGE THE REALITY ON THE GROUND?

You raise some interesting points. Also, originally announced there were over 10,000 Americans to get out of Afghanistan. It is reported we got 6000 out and there is a couple hundred left.....Does that mean the other 4000+ want to stay there?
