“Leave No One Behind” Is A Promise, Not A Talking Point

“Asad”, an Afghan-American who returned to Kabul to get his extended family out, including parents, brother, sisters and their families, was one of hundreds my group of Afghan SOF vets was helping escape. His immediate family, wife & young boys all had blue passports and had been offered the chance to board a shuttle to the Kabul International Airport terminal, but he refused to leave the remainder of his family behind. This was the decision Asad was facing, and I believed he only had hours left to make the call. I texted him the following, “Asad, you need to make a decision about who in your family you can save at this point.” He replied without hesitation,

“Dan. My father raised me to become the man I am today. I’m not leaving him, my mother, brother, sisters or their children…Would you?”

A friend of mine who had been in Benghazi right before the attacks and is actively working to bring American's and Afghanistan's to the United States.

Every so-called “progressive” starts their time in office with a promise, their oath of office, that they have no intention of keeping.

Are we obligated to bring everyone in the country over?

Only those who are related to anyone, no matter how distantly.

Half second cousin Billy Bob and all his family as well, no doubt.

Anything. Inlaws, stepchildren, hundredth cousins, whatever.

No but the article would tell you that there are more people who helped the US over the years plus Americans left there. I IM'd the lady who shared this article with me and she stated that they've gotten some of the families out after Diaper Joe's withdrawal but there are more waiting.

Keep in mind it was Khadaffi loyalists that got the Americans out of Benghazi & then Libya during the Odumbo administration.

My point was if one person helped, is there should be a limit on how many other people he could bring with him? Family is a vague term.

[Mean Daddy]

Understood and your point drives home on how important it was that this was a staged pull out. I know you’re not defending Diaper Joe’s method either.

I think Joe is trying to pull out Democrat voters for GOP states.
