State department can’t always evacuate everyone. Can’t spend the big bucks doing an extraction on every American because one building got hit. When the region was getting hot in 2021, state department had like five five-seater jump planes in the area to do everything.
Now you’ve got hundreds of people getting squirrelly and demanding a flight now when the airspace is not looking great.
There’s other ways to evac people than just planes. I was just a kid when my story above happened. But my dad asked that very thing ‘is it safe to fly if there’s scuds in the air?’ and they said that had multiple ways to get people to safety.
