In Afghanistan and wanted to come home to America, do you think the American government would come save you before bad things happened to you?
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche

That's funny.
Hippie endorsement of dementia Joe says you're F'd.
Ummmm, no. The answer to your question was just witnessed on LIVE TV by millions of people. The govt did help the people who made it to the airport, but they didn't by any means go help people get the said airport, much less BEFORE things got bad.
Now if I were someone politically important, then yes.

A 4th grader knows you take your important stuff, people, and dogs and leave before the Hurricane. Evacuating and returning for your people and stuff is not logical. Same applies to our withdrawal.
With the way this has been going The Govt would come shoot you before the Taliban would.
Money. Was a lot of money to be made by contractors.
Man that makes me mad. Seeing a faithful dog ("Ghost") caged and left to die.
Heartless b@stages that would do something like that need tied to a tree with a salmon between their back and the bark.
Also family members of our armed forces, and afghan people who helped us and their families. I doubt many americans are over there on vacation, altho I'm sure a handful were.
I wouldn't trust this government to itch my *. We are all on our own.
Hmmm. I suppose your right, when America is run by POS hippies and communist.
How in the hell could the master handler leave their dog behind? They are dead by now, makes me really sick, really.😥
"Hello, I am from the Government and I am here to help you" Comes to mind. Yea right. -------------Ray
Well, there was that group of school kids over there on a field trip. Where is the school? California of course.
I heard two dozen students from Cal. still there and the WH refuses to talk about it
I sure many more are in the same boat
If I found myself stuck there with no way out, I'd work on a good dark tan along with taking lessons on how to properly wrap a turban!
Don a Biden/Harris T shirt and find that CNN reporter with a hijab. You will be saved.
Been there and done it.
I was in South Sudan working as a Military Contractor for the DoS near a town in the north of the country called Nasir.
I had been working there in 2012, went home came back in in 2013. The Civil war started about 2 months into my second tour. I wanted to leave my boss says stay its nothing(He is not in SS he is in Kenya). A while later the rebels took over the area I was in and the border crossing to Ethiopia, there was no way I was going north to Sudan so that left south to Uganda.
Needless to say me and 3 other guys did some creative driving and evasion. Uganda closed it border so we were screwed and had to find a place which we did. Then drove to the Kenyan Border and its closed too. I was lucky the Kenyans guarding the border were a unit I had trained a year or 2 before. I knew one of the Captains and he recognized me. They let us through.
It was kind of fun but it was dangerous. I never counted on the US to help me or any one else.
Seeing those dogs breaks my heart and really upsets me. As far as the people left behind well I hate to say it but they should have got out earlier, they had time. When you are in a place like that you have to have an out and more than one is even better. A good vehicle, money and a gun are nice to have too, being able to speak the lingo is a major plus.
I imagine the days when Truman or Ike were president the Marines would be over there bringing our people home.When everyone was out the B-52s would bomb the hell out of them.But that was the days if you messed with one American,we took it personal and you had to deal with the hornets nest you stirred up.
It was something I kept in mind when contracting.
When you are out in the wind, you are out in the wind. Got to take care of yourself.
Not a chance I would be there.
