in our vetting. We should have gotten out those who helped us back in May. Right now is not the time to rush through taking all comers wanting to get out and resettling them here or in other nations. The Taliban are smart enough to place some embeds among those trying to get out.
Our own MSM is not being helpful at all in unifying or supporting our efforts and some vets aren't either. They should know better and reserve all the justified criticism until we have finished our evacuation of our citizens and those who helped us. The MSM seems really more eager to criticize Biden than they were to criticize Trump when he offered the Taliban an invitation to Camp David. Top brass of livid but the MSM not so much then.

I believe the 'friendlies' we saw in the stampede at the airport were flown to Qartar. Vetting them down the road is going to be herculean task, and I believe most are going to be living in tent cities for the foreseeable future.
