Why the hell is there anyone still at our Kabul embassy? Those folks should have been given orders to wrap up their mission weeks ago and been evacuated, along with All Afghani personnel- including cleaning staff, etc... who wanted to leave. Now we're sending back troops to help with the exit. Maddening!
