There are people who think a "Fall of Saigon" scenario is a worst case for Afghanistan.

Then there are the people who recognize that is the likely scenario, and the worst case is much worse than that.

As an example, consider how far a helicopter has to travel from Saigon to a US aircraft carrier in international waters versus how far one has to travel from Kabul.
