https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-57682290 US left Bagram Airbase at night with no notice, Afghan commander says General Asadullah Kohistani told the BBC that the US left Bagram at 03:00 local time on Friday, and that the Afghan military found out hours later. Bagram also contains a prison, and there are reportedly up to 5,000 Taliban prisoners left in the facility. The Taliban have been advancing rapidly in Afghanistan as US troops withdraw. General Kohistani said on Monday that Afghan forces were expecting the Taliban to attack Bagram.
In small instances it's going to work, but there is no way to sneak everyone, military and civilian, out.
It is too late for it to be of value to us now. We also abandoned Americans right at the start of the withdrawal. If retaking Bagram would change that in any way, then I would take it back in a nano-second but I dont see how it could. Unless somebody made a case for it being needed in future. Frigging Pentagon and Cent Command generals droning on about how much capability and super duper equipment we have on the ground there and at the Kabul airport. Yeh, okay. They are like the doctor who brags about how good he is except all his patients die.
My response was aimed at the conversation regarding using Bagram as a secondary point for extraction. We no longer hold the base. In a normal, sane world, people evacuate their civilians, weapons, non-essential staff before they withdraw from strategic strongholds.
