3,000 troops to evacuate an embassy seems excessive? How many diplomats are there?
Nonetheless A terrible situation for Afghanistan; I wish the world could help them but I'm not sure what else could be done after trying for two decades.

I hope that GATech one day offers an affordable online math MSc program, like their CS program

I didn't mean it negatively. I wrote it with a smile. They should take pride in their work!

It is being demolished now. The company doing the demolition must be very proud of destroying things, because they make drone & time-lapsed videos of it:

Edit: I meant this in a positive tone, not a negative. I'm glad they take pride in their work.

I actually haven't heard of the Honor Harrington series; I'll look it up. Do you recommend paperback or audio for it?

(spoiler warning) I gave up on the ExForce series after a half dozen books; it was good, just repetitive. But I couldn't force myself to purchase the Bobiverse #2. While the Bobiverse author's style was irritating to me, I thought the alien interactions in Bobiverse were laughable compared to ExForce and Hail Mary (spoiler sorry). The antagonist also left much to be desired.
But Ray Porter's voice needs to be applied to many more books. I generally only stop reading audiobooks if I can't listen to the reader any longer
