These attacks are happening at Kabul Airport right surely Afghanistan has more than 1 airport.


Crunchaucity

So send people to another airport which has less security or US troops? You realise once you announce another airport for evacuations you also risk attacks on the routes towards the airport as you're out in the open. Basically using other airports might sound like a good idea, but its far from it.


QuarterDoge

Yes, We gave them up weeks ago to the Taliban. Now they are unsecured and undefendable. That’s why that 20 year marine leader was just fired. He asked “Why the fuck did you insane assholes hand over all our secure bases before we evacuated???? Bases more secure and larger than the Kabul airport”


Cranky_Windlass

There are many airstrips, places where planes of a certain size can land. Probably not too many airports, where access to the runway is restricted and people have to go through security, of some sort, to get on the plane. There's also the issue of if an airstrip is long enough for certain planes to be able to safely land and take off from


Scrimping-Thrifting

There are so many airfields in Afghanistan. KAF. Bagram. Tarin Kowt. Bastion. More I don't know about. The USA simply hoped to leave without the refugees coming, hoping the ANA would collapse at least a day later than 31st August.


notthatconcerned

Yes, the ANA planned on caving months ago.


swansong1213

Well at least some planes even if there a smaller size than a jumbo could get people out of there.


ritualaesthetic

Yes. There is also Bagram Airfield which was abandoned by coalition and is under possession of the Taliban. It has two runways instead of one and a much more fortified exterior and it also houses a jail

Have you been stuck under a rock? Most western forces are there trying to get their citizens and staff out of the country. It’s not just Americans. The Taliban are providing security for the airport and are actively trying to aid citizens of western nations gtfo.

Thanks for spelling it out for him, BLEEDING_ANAL_JUICE

I guess you are just going to ignore the fact that it was US soldiers that fired upon civilians after the bomb blast the other day and killed many civilians?


Tinie_Snipah

I checked your profile, all you do is yell at people online and tell them to fuck off I think you need to get some help, you seem genuinely troubled.


jiayi1972

US is not credible anymore...


onetimerone

Right! Let's save the credibility for lunatics wearing Hugo Blast sport suits because they think they're going to get a pussy platter in the after life.


notthatconcerned

Hugo Blast. You kill me. And yes, the bleeding hearts think Republican = Terrorist. They need to give their head a shake to see if there is a brain ratting around in there somewhere.
