For those who don't know, the State Dept. Runs a travel registry for Americans traveling anywhere outside of U.S. If an emergency evacuation is needed, they can locate/notify you through the registry to provide assistance. Many Americans refuse to register because 'freedom.'

when I traveled outside of the country…..didn’t know it existed.

9. I've traveled outside the country and didn't even know about the registry.

I probably would have registered if i'd known about it, but I've traveled extensively, and this is the first i'm hearing about it.

13. Security advisory was issued in March again in April

The media is saying there were no warnings, go to the State Dept.advisories. I'm sorry if Joe Biden didn't send engraved invitations


The Embassy reminds U.S. citizens that the Travel Advisory for Afghanistan is Level 4-Do Not Travel due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, armed conflict, and COVID-19. U.S. citizens already in Afghanistan should consider departing. If you decide to remain in Afghanistan, carefully consider all travel and limit trips only to those that are absolutely necessary.

Do not travel to Afghanistan due to COVID-19, crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, and armed conflict.

U.S. citizens wishing to depart Afghanistan should leave as soon as possible on available commercial flights.

Read the Department of State’s COVID-19 page before you plan any international travel.

The Embassy reminds U.S. citizens that the Travel Advisory for Afghanistan remains Level 4-Do Not Travel due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, armed conflict, and COVID-19. Commercial flight options from Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) remain available and the U.S. Embassy strongly suggests that U.S. citizens make plans to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible. Given the security conditions and reduced staffing, the Embassy’s ability to assist U.S. citizens in Afghanistan is extremely limited.

15. It didn't dawn on them in February 2020 that this party was over and it was time to leave?

[Merlot]

16. Starting to think they're contractors - didn't want to get off the money train.

Doubtful they were tourists.
