If you were given a rescue mission, and about ten minutes into discussing it....some Captain raised his hand and asked....'who are we rescuing, and how many of them'....if you can't answer that question, then the whole discussion needs to halt at that point.
I sat there last night, watching the CNN report situation in Kabul, and it's painfully obvious that the Pentagon has a mission, but has no idea how many Americans are in the country. It might be 500....it might be 5,000.
It looks painfully obvious as well....that tens of thousands of Afghans might be flown out....only because there aren't any Americans at the airport, to take up seats.
The planning process? Well....back in July...some idiot should have sat down and eyeballed the number business, and wrote a simple three-page plan to cover the basic departure. But this never happened.
