Oh, and as for being cut off in Afghanistan I thought about it. If we did get cut off by Pakistan we would have to leave. But the men would get out.

We’d fly them out. We’d have to leave the equipment like at Dunkirk, but the men could be airlifted out pretty quickly. The big jets can hold hundreds of men and there’s not that many soldiers in Afghanistan. It might take a thousand flights but we could do it. The Air Force and Navy could control the airspace against anything the Pakistanis or Iranians could put in the air.

That would be a huge fiasco, but we wouldn’t have to lose everyone.
