Why the 82nd Airborne is directing airfield security for Afghanistan evacuation

Its a priority mission for us- it was practiced numerous times each year- CONUS & OCONUS. One of the reasons for still jumping- Anywhere, any time within 14 hrs of notification= Death from Above

82nd Airborne will get the job done!

I bet a pay check, there is a Sgt. in there wondering why we choose such a pitiful area to protect while it is being surrounded. Dam.
I noticed the Afgan army laid down their weapons quickly. Do you agree the enemy had an agreement already made with the army we supplied? We didn't pick that traffic up?
Is there fixed wing air cover for this? Warthogs come to mind. What happens if a plane coming out of there gets shot with a rocket?
It is concerning to me. We have wasted so much blood and now we are hoping for a kind outcome? Shouldn't we completely attack now? Pushing the enemy back. Killing all?
