No, every single one of us are responsible for this horrific outcome, and some such as myself are saddled with Nam as well. That dishonor goes out to each and every American citizen, as they slowly turn this country into a Jerry Springer television program. The lies told are "truths" to the "poorly educated" and disposed of easily by the "educated". Sadly, it's gentlemen like you who are forever more reminded of our selfishness. Keep on being strong, you're one of the caring individuals with the ammo to push for a change long overdue in our ungrateful "leaders". We learned absolutely nothing from our history. Except for the Kings and Queens, who knowingly strive to keep We Peasants distracted from our duties, therefore padding their crowns with yet more jewels.
Makes me ashamed to be an American. And to viscerally hate the politicians who are concerned only about their own jobs and that buy votes handing out free government 'goodies' to the ignorant, gullible, uninformed, poorly-educated electorate that everyone else ends up paying for. And to top it all off, Axios reports: "Official forecasts show that America will this year spend more on debt interest than national defense." That situation is unsustainable, even in the short run.
I have lost words for why we have no unity around this or any support for our Afghan partners. I cannot understand it and am horrified by how people put these faithful friends into the same category as people who "you don't want coming in/crossing the border illegally". When I hear this comparison I cannot seem to get across to people but we do know those who fought with us, they are not unknowns.There are very few in Congress who loudly advocate for their support but there are some.
Okay, as a dumbass about our national behavior towards the Afghanis, Will — and your posse — what can I do to help these Afghans? Here. Now. Besides writing my Rep and Senators.
All of this is the truth and it sucks. And no Americans will be held responsible for it.
‘Amen.

Thanks, brother. ‘Amen.
The Pakistani government just deported something like 1 million Afghans living there, including SIV applicants and their families.
Our good and faithful ally, Pakistan
💯%
And we're busy doing it again to Ukraine.

Thanks Will - we need this painful reminder everyday.

Support No One Left Behind — they are the gold standard group that is trying to stay true to our pledge.
Thank you, Will.
