its an old hobbyhorse but the period in the summer where the taliban unexpectedly took kabul was incredible for this. no-one had given a shit about anything that was going on out there for years. including even the week before, when district after district was being taken over. then suddenly for a week it was all over the news and a load of people for a short time really cared about getting, in particular, 'the people who had worked with us' out of kabul. now no-one gives a shit again, we got our excitement out of it, great TV, and now its gone again. a load of the people that worked with us are still stuck on air bases in the UAE six months later, waiting for visas.
