I'm not at all surprised - guess we didn't learn anything from Vietnam! Just sad this is happening, but it was inevitable. We should have left 10 years ago after we accomplished our mission. I'm afraid this was going to happen no matter when we pulled out or no matter how long we stayed, and it is not the job of the United States to babysit/take care of other countries indefinitely!!!
I feel the same way that I did when we pulled out of Vietnam. I feel down, defeated, and basically worthless. Like don't we ever learn? Why can't we ever win? I get sick watching the civilians struggling to get out. I just can't believe what I see.
