   Bagram (; Pashto/Persian: بگرام) is a town and seat in Bagram District in Parwan Province of Afghanistan, about 60 kilometers north of the capital Kabul. It is the site of an ancient city located at the junction of the Ghorband and Panjshir Valley, near today's city of Charikar, Afghanistan.

Examples of bagram in a Sentence

1. Michael Kugelman:

   There’s something sadly symbolic about how the U.S. has gone about leaving Bagram. The decision to take so much away and destroy so much of what is left speaks to the U.S. urgency to get out quickly.

2. Lloyd Austin:

   Retaining Bagram would have required putting as many as five thousand U.S. troops in harm's way, just to operate and defend it. And Retaining Bagram would have contributed little to the mission that we had been assigned, and that was to protect and defend our embassy which was some 30 miles away, staying at Bagram -- even for counter - terrorism purposes -- meant staying at war in Afghanistan, something that the President made clear that he would not do.

3. Bill Roggio:

   The closure of Bagram is a major symbolic and strategic victory for the Taliban.

4. Bradley Bowman:

   The way that the handover of Bagram Air Base went down appears to have been very poorly coordinated and that reality and perception is not helpful to American interests. It's almost a microcosm of what we've seen more broadly, and that is poor planning.

5. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy:

   You watched what happened in Afghanistan, that botched action. Why did we close Bagram’s base? Why did we allow those prisoners to get out? Why would we even close in the summer and withdraw? Why would we withdraw without bringing out all the Americans first? All of these decisions should actually be investigated, so they don't get repeated.
