What people need to remember is that the Biden administration left hundreds of Americans and Afghanistan’s who were helpful to us, in Afghanistan.

There are efforts by multiple organizations trying to get them out as they are being targeted for helping the Americans. The Biden administration like Odumbo & Benghazi, have left Americans behind.

Just for the record, I am fully onboard with getting out every single person who helped us officially...with one key proviso: They have to be vetted. They have to be official, and they have to have an American who worked with them who would stand up and say “Yes. He is a good man. We need to get him and his family out.”

To me, one of the blackest stains on our national conscience was leaving all those people in Vietnam to the tender mercies of the Communists. I had a very personal relationship with one of them, and he told me what happened to him after we left him behind. Two years in a re-education camp in the jungle, and he escaped and made his way to Australia and eventually, the US.

America has plenty of black marks on our conscience for those that have one, such as our treatment of the Soviet POWs in Germany that we handed back to the Soviets, knowing full well what would happen to them, that kind of thing.

I viewed Afghanistan in that same light.
