Withdrawal shutting down all the military air fields like bagram in the dead of night going away without telling afghan allies has been the problem. bagram is a better airfield. we should have had multiple locations people could go to and require the taliban to spread out forces. now they can concentrate and create a blockade around that city so people who helped us -- im getting calls from former interpreters and people like medics who worked with us that are stranded. the taliban are searching...
