US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said his military doesn’t have the capacity to extend operations beyond the perimeter of Kabul’s international airport to reach out to more Americans wanting to flee Afghanistan, speaking at a press conference at the Pentagon on Wednesday.
“We don’t have the capability to go out and collect up large numbers of people,” Austin said
“We will continue to de-conflict issues with the Taliban and we will stay focused on securing the airfield. We cannot afford to either not defend that airfield or not have an airfield that’s secure where we have hundreds or thousands of civilians that can access the airfield at will and put our forces at risk,” the secretary added.
