Today marks the two year anniversary of the most recent "Fall of Kabul." Evacuating Afghanistan has never been easy, as the British Military discovered when they tried to withdraw 16,000 personnel from Kabul in 1842. Why did only one survivor make it to destination Jalalabad? Lessons from the previous evacuation in this Geoffrey Botkin video:
At 6:52 on a school morning, somewhere in your neighborhood, a ten-year-old is standing at the end of a driveway in the dark. His backpack weighs about a fifth of what he does. He ate breakfast in four bites. The bus is late again.
For a long time I thought of that kid as a scheduling problem. Early mornings, long days, a lot of sitting still. Then I sat down and did the math, and it stopped being about scheduling.
Over thirteen years, that boy will hand roughly 16,000 hours to a building. Homeschooling gives most of them back.

American foreign policy must consider not only the condition of allied nations today but also the direction or trajectory in which they are moving. European leadership restricting freedom of speech and banning entry to peaceful activists cannot be dismissed as purely domestic when it affects American citizens and raises questions about the values on which the transatlantic alliance rests.
