      I’ll try to pass the message to the many trapped in Kabul and other provinces, burning their documents in hiding, sending harrowing, despairing and unanswered appeals for help. (I guess we can assume the already-executed would have apologized for the unnecessary stress on us?)

      You’re arguing for escalation, you should be clear about that.

      Unlike Matt, I put years of my life into opposing both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan when it was neither easy nor without risk to a new immigrant like me. So go away.

      Well you both had about equal impact on the decisions to either go to war or withdraw from it, so that's something

      I don’t know how once having opposed the war means you’re not arguing for escalation now.

      We can be honest. People aren’t all going to get out. A large number of military people have been trying for years to get many of these people out and failing. And now there’s little chance even a fraction are making it out barring us paying off—a few billion if I had to guess.

          I don’t think anyone means everyone literally. We can evacuate roughly the number we could have evacuated had Ghani’s government made it to Halloween I think is the point.

          What is that possibly based on? It's just pure speculation and doomerism. And in service of what? To show you care more deeply and publicly than other ppl? Biden announced they'll stay past August 31 if necessary, and they've frozen Taliban bank accts. Should he just re-occupy?
