US military faces growing calls to do more to evacuate Afghanistan

Calls are growing for the U.S. military to do more to help people get to the Kabul airport so they can flee Afghanistan now that it is under Taliban control.

Reports that Taliban checkpoints have blocked both Afghans and Americans from leaving the country have stirred controversy for the Biden administration, as have reports that some foreign governments have sent troops beyond a U.S. perimeter to rescue their citizens.
