Are US citizens being asked to pay $2,000 for evacuation flights out of Kabul? - https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/are-us-citizens-being-asked-to-pay-2-000-for-evacuation-flights-out-of-kabul
I’m not opposed to this policy. If you’re an American and you put yourself in a vulnerable position, be it on the side of a mountain 12 hours before a known blizzard is rolling in or in some lawless nation, and you need evacuated, you should be on the hook for at least some portion of the evac costs. I guarantee the fully burdened cost to evacuate is a lot higher than $2k a head.
Most of the Americans remaining in Afghan were government contractors and there on government payroll doing US government work.
In other words they were part of the US government workforce and would not have been in Aghanistan but for their jobs working for the government. Yeh, government needs to pay for this.
Oh for sure if they are contractors or on the payroll extrication should be on Uncle Sug's dime. I was assuming this was for the guy who decided to travel there to see family or some shit. If it's for folks on the payroll then it is fucked up.
Embassy personnel have long been evacuated. These are the subcontracted muffs who work for a paycheck; the US had a considerable workforce in Afghan and a $1.5 billion fortress embassy that was abandoned.
Nothing has ever been this bad, not Saigon, not Tehran, not Benghazi, I lived through all of them.
Dont assume dipshit. you thought it was 15,000 guys who just decided to go fuck all the afghan hotties at spring infidel? dumbass tbh
