I'm sure there were some at some point in the area over the years. But directly attempting to attack US troops who were leading an evacuation? None. No need to wait.
That was not the point. There were many suicide bombings (and other type of attacks) over the years in Kabul and everywhere else in Afghanistan which US was unable to prevent.
Sitting ducks with no way to defend yourself is not the product of war. Troops are not immigration agents, but they were asked to be by sleepy Joe in the most dangerous country because Biden destroyed and abandoned every other secure facility in that country beforehand.

Absurd - The safety of military guarding such a thing as an airport is up to the military. If they blow it soldiers die. But security of the facility is a military problem.

There’s a big difference between an unsecured civilian airport and a secured military air base.
Hmm I wonder which one is safer, better not ask Joe Biden that.
The death of 13 troops was absolutely avoidable. To say otherwise is just ignorant.

Lol, apparently you still do not comprehend that you cannot get people from Kabul to the base. BTW, speaking of "secure" , do you think the passage from Kabul would have been secure?
What would have avoided many deaths was getting out much much earlier. Oh, and never doing the Iraq thing, but that's a different story.

Apparently you don’t understand how we got people in, out, and around Afghanistan for 20 years without needing to use unsecured civilian airports or POVs.
It’s ok, you never served in Afghanistan. You think we took Uber rides to get from place to place.

You are exactly correct. There were several times my husband flew commercial and was then transported to whatever camp he was suppose to go to.

Who was in control Kabul and most of the country when that occurred? Also, were there 10s of thousands of civilians transported at the same time?
Etc.
