This war is over! About 15 years too long.
I heard there are still Americans that want to get out, but only a couple hundred who will still be able to leave.

(989 posts)9. Much greater than the estimate
History will record this evacuation as a resounding success.
The usual suspects will, of course, bemoan the fact that we couldn't save everyone who wanted to be saved and pin every civilian casualty from here on out on Biden...I'm going to tune them out.
