right decision bad execution. I fail to see why we didn't evacuate those who helped us sooner and failing that why we didn't keep Bagram and make it clear to the Taliban, we want our people out before we are leaving and that they were not to be harmed. We should have moved them to Guam, and kept them there until we were ready for them to go here.
