If the State Department and other Federal entities knew we were planning this bugout for July, should they have given some consideration to Americans traveling there? Or would that have possibly provided a tip to the Taliban? It seems we could have issued some caveat to Americans traveling to and living in Afghanistan as it was no secret that we were leaving. Then at least we could say that people made an informed decision to stay or visit.

What parent in their right mind would allow their child to go over to Afghan? Pure stupidity.

When my family did a State Department tour, the Marine Corps was constantly putting out messages telling us where we couldn't travel. The State Department's job is to provide notice to Americans about travel to various countries. Afghanistan and other hell holes should be on the priority list for warnings to traveling Americans. That said, who in their right minds would travel to Afghanistan or any dangerous place for Americans under joe biden? Who?!

FTA: "Twenty nine students were from the San Juan Unified School District, around Sacramento.Three more were members of another family, from Cajon Valley Union School District, outside of San Diego. Both areas are home to large populations of Afghan refugees."
Finally some sense. In all the other reports never before has it been made clear that these students were likely Afghan refugees to begin with opposed to some random Mayflower decedents on an insane field trip.

This was one of the dumbest moves on the planet. The best we can do for them now is hope they were all democrats.

Their only chance to survive this ordeal is to go into hiding, learn the basics of the local language, dress up and look like Afghans, start quietly walking, and get out of the country. Before the tollybon finds them.

the original reports said these”kids” went over to visit their families! This isn’t a school educational tour but family visitations. Bomber camp ?

These are "refugees" who returned to Afghanistan for family visits. Refugees returning? What are they taking refuge from? Seems that status deserved revisiting. California resident does not equal American citizen.

The boys will get a brand new M-4 (thanks, American taxpayers!) and the girls will get a husband! It’s The Afghan Way.

If these were "refugees" from Afghanistan that have been given asylum in the US, why were they given passports/visas and allowed to travel BACK to Afganistan??? Doesn't make sense in my brain. Also what are the ages and genders of these students??? Seems really fishy to me.

Anyone on the US side as in Washington/DC does not even answer the phones! Only the dean from the school talks to them. You have to understand it has nothing to do with the first vegetable, that stinking Austin, aka, Idi Amin or midget Milley schmilly schmuck face! They consider the with drawl 'Heroic' according to flat footed Austin this morning, who at the time of the explosion offered this advice 'there is nothing I can do'! Of course not, this idiot desk jokey is only in charge of the Army but I guess they are still explaining to him what toilette paper is used for!!!!!
