Should we take as much time as necessary and reasonable to get everybody who worked with us in Afghanistan and wants to leave out?

And even those that didn't work with us - I'm thinking the women and the children. They are hugely at risk.

Afghanistan is the size of Texas, give or take an acre. How do we find them in that large of an area? How many of our soldiers is it ok to sacrifice to get them?

The logistics and safety of such a feat would be a nightmare and there would definitely a loss of lives.
