how about the million dead?

[@stevecunningham6537]

@@00BillyTorontoBill was that a question? Or a statement? If it was a point of view you're inadequate post didn't quite catch you're point of view. As for a million dead, think you better fact check. Apart from that the post is about welcoming people to this country who'd definitely be killed by taliban. If located. So think about the living, never forget the dead. Most ex soldiers are the same.

Americans who help Afghanistans to escape Taliban brutality are super heroes. When America army withdrawn from Afghanistan the chaos that happenes and people trying to get out are so heartbreaking. Clinging to the plane that waa moving show their desparation to leave and its really break my heart. I cried and pray at the same time that God may intervene somehow. Seeing some of the Americca soldiers trying their best to help them is so admirable for their bravery. Even now they are trying to bring over families who were helping them whilen in Afghanistan and I wish the government give them the green light for these families to go to America. Despite many criticism against America for some of their policies I think we should give credits to the America soldiers for their humaniterian actions and bravery to get many families out from Afghanistan. I don't understand Taliban barbaric rules and why they still exist in this modern era. Their life style of living is still in the B.C century thousand of years ago. They should have their own planet like the movie Planet of Apes.

Late reply but I love to hear these stories of hope created by the best of humanity; its great to see that the family is safe, and will never have to worry about who's knocking at there door, because more likely than not its the neighbor bringing cookies... I feel I need to apologize on behalf of The United States and say our past president made a deal with the Taliban on February 2020 that we would completely leave Afghanistan on May of 2021, unfortunately trump didn't care about Muslims or Arabs therefore he did nothing in regards to evacuating the Afghans that served alongside us..
