| #7 Half life of promises from the Biden Boyz is 0.001 femtoseconds. Back to owing the government for a ticket out of a crisis of their making (if you can make it to Kabul Airport alive). “All passengers will need to reimburse the U.S. Government for the flight. A promissory note for the full cost of the flight, which may exceed $2000 per person, must be signed by each adult passenger before boarding,” the form stated. |

| #5 Of course they are. You think the US government cares about its citizens? At best they are an unwanted chore, at worst they are a threat. Trillions for defense, but not one cent for Americans. |

| #4 Up till 2001, soldiers hospitalized were charged for their meals. The rationale was they derive a separate rations allowance* and the government was being reimbursed, something left over for generations. *housing and rations allowances are separate from 'base' pay because retirement is calculated based upon base pay and the government is a skinflint when it comes to compensation unless its graft for their buddies. Oh, an until recently retirement pay was calculated as a 'benefit' for compensation. Now they deduct from the service members pay for it (along with FICA - social security/medicare). |

| #2 Guessing most Americans and other westerners are aid workers in the provinces. Suspect just getting to Kabul is near impossible right now. |
