The “should’ve been bagram” response is common from folks that never had to secure anything larger than a fighting position. HKIA kissed the Green Zone where every embassy was located. No other location could’ve been secured with the force presence in country.

“withdrawal out of bagram” = big e4 mindset. Not possible to secure a geo area that large with the force policy makers left the DoD. No contribution from foreign militaries an hour north. HKIA was the only real option.
