If you are voluntarily taking a trip to Afghanistan you don’t deserve to come back.

Who thought this was a good idea?

On the main thread it gives us an insight as to why these morons were in Afghanistan.

I guess they didn't read the travel warnings.

Do not travel to Afghanistan due to civil unrest, armed conflict, crime, terrorism, kidnapping, and COVID-19.

Travel to all areas of Afghanistan is unsafe. As of August 15, the U.S. Embassy has relocated operations to Hamid Karzai International Airport.

Individuals seeking information on evacuation should refer to the alerts on the Embassy website for instructions.

U.S. citizens still in country should:

Review your personal security plans.
Be aware of your surroundings and local security developments.
Keep a low profile.
Monitor local media.
Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive security updates.

More lies .

We dont need to use these False stories to justify saying and ramming thru another 20,000 Aghan muslim savages for the Dems .

These are Afghan Muslim cons that are playing the Refugee scam just like the Mexicos .

“Gotta figure these are afghans who went back to visit the relatives. Not the Glee Club.”

That’s what I’ve been hearing: They are not Americans, but are Afghanis who have been living in the US and who went “back home” to visit family.

I definitely do believe people are that stupid. Sad thing is the kids will likely come back and brag how they helped the Taliban execute their parents!

“”””The outlet reported that at least 24 students and 16 parents from Cajon Valley Union School District in El Cajon, California,””””


The news reports make it sound like this was a school sponsored event.

More likely it was a trip by Mideast youths and parents who went to Afghanistan to learn the latest jihadist techniques.
