It's not the leaving - it's how it's being done that has most Americans outraged (not to mention much of the rest of the world).
Not that much difference over here with those Afghans we are duty-bound to recover to the UK. For many years our main operating area was in Helmand (in the south) and we drew a great deal of our direct support from the local area. Just how anyone could travel such a massive distance once the Taliban severed the only links to Kabul a few weeks ago is apparently beyond the comprehension of our government. The fall of Kabul just sealed the matter completely.
