taliban checkpoints that are all around the airport right now, both the civilian and military side of the airport, and get to the gates, they may not be able to get in the gate because they may not have the proper paperwork. now, to deal with this issue, there's u.s. military, mainly largely u.s. marines and soldiers who are at some of these gates and there's no state department officers there trying to help, but it's not a perfect process. not everyone there is able to get through. and the other issue is there are so many people backed up at some of these gates, that even if you are eligible, you literally cannot physically get up to the gate to even get through. you can see just the magnitude. there are so many hurdles that these people have to get through. some of them very dangerous, like getting through a taliban checkpoint before they can even get onto the airport grounds and get manifested onto one of these flights. >> total reality check from you. thank you so, courtney kube, i appreciate that.
