Can you say Hmong folks?
No doubt the Afghan interpreters will receive the same consideration our Vietnamese allies received.
RE: Can you say Hmong folks?
Let’s not forget our Iraqi allies as well.
Beat me to it.
Not if they get to bring their wives, sons, brothers etc etc. They should each be carefully vetted and strictly watched. And not all of them should be allowed. Half of them are likely spies.
agreed.
Sure, import more muslims, what could go wrong?
“The Washington Post estimates that around 1,000 Iraqi and Afghan interpreters have been killed while awaiting their visas.“
The question I care about is how many Americans will die when we let 20,000 orb them in with their sons. Second generation immigrants are the highest risk for terrorism. The Pulse nightclub, the Boulder grocery store, and many others. Better to send turn to another country of their own culture or into the EU. Germany loves them.
RE: Sure, import more muslims, what could go wrong?
So, you’re saying we simply use these poor bastards and then simply cast them aside after they’ve passed their used by date?
I thought we made Afghanistan safe for democracy...../s
RE: I thought we made Afghanistan safe for democracy...../s
OK, so we did not make it safe for Democracy. What then?
We invaded their country and when these few people helped us to topple the Taliban, do we now have any obligation to help them when their lives are in danger now that we are leaving the country with the Taliban coming back?
You miss the point. You’re being naive to not realize half of them are still alive precisely -because- they feed information to the enemy. And when they come here, they will use chain migration to bring in relatives. And second generation immigrants are the most likely to go postal because they romanticize their homeland. So their whelps are a huge risk. America first!
If they haven’t authored a textbook on George Washington, it isn’t worth it.
If they are still a Moslem, it isn’t worth it.
All I can say is that we should treat American traitors as harshly as other countries treat their citizen-traitors. Death is too kind.
Should have never set foot in that God forsaken land.
No, I do not want them here.
Resettle them in Syria.
RE: You’re being naive to not realize half of them are still alive precisely -because- they feed information to the enemy.
OK, what about the other half? Do we have a moral obligation to help them? Or do we conclude that NONE OF THEM are worth helping at all?
RE: Resettle them in Syria.
I am open to a 3rd country resettlement compromise. But Syria is a stupid choice. The UAE could be a better compromise ( that’s where Baghdad Bob resettled after Saddam fell by the way ).
They should be armed and supported via dept of state as a counter- cadre/ Intel assets. Our direct action ought to consist of precision responses to external threats.
They ought to fight for their lives and country if it means anything.
Uncle Sam cannot should not and ought not be looked at as the out.
Next time we ought to pour on the fire, do the job and not wear kid gloves so as not to waste blood abd treasure.
20 wasted years, billions of dollars and 10s of ks of lives. Makes me think it is us who is the failed state, not them, in some ways.
OEF x 3 so my option has gravitas.
We would be so much better off!
They got paid. They knew the risk. Let them move to Saudi Arabia. The locus of value should be the American people, not the needs of foreigners.
I hear no discussions as to how it benefits John Q. Public here in America. And I mean how they make life here in small town America ANY better, not that we can attract more translators in for future wars.
Every war we have, we flood in people from that place. Play with a turd, get crap on your fingers. That needs to be carefully considered before ANY war of convenience we are pondering.
Ten years from now we will have this same discussion about translators from Mali, Mozambique, Niger or Tanzania.
And we brought in a lot of “friendlies” from Somalia after Blackhawk down. Now they own Minnesota and have a Congresswoman.
