and that "want" to come home, an agreement has been made for their safe passage, hopefully. Also it should be mentioned that, and I can only point to the USA, that for months the USA have notified their citizen about the "war" ending and that they could make arrangements to leave as early as possible.

I have not watched CNN for quite some time because I knew this shit of constant bashing Pres. Biden would happen when he finally gave the ok to go forward with leaving, and what a mess it was going to be. And yet, over 120,000 evacuation occurred with the help of many countries around the world. Kudos.

And to the families of the 13 service men and women, and over 160 Afghans who lost their lives, my heart is heavy, and I can't imagine what you are going through, but as a country we are with you.
