quote:

Haroon, a U.S. citizen stuck in Afghanistan, described scenes of chaos in the area in an interview on "Fox & Friends."

"There’s thousands of people on the street," Haroon said. "It was crowded. Its Afghan citizens and Afghan permanent residents and Afghans who did work with America."


quote:

"We all know what's going to happen next the few days or next couple weeks after Americans leave Afghanistan. So everyone is scared."

Haroon received an email saying the U.S. embassy was open but was met by the Taliban when he arrived.

"I saw the Taliban sitting there," he said. "I couldn't give myself the courage to go and ask them, ‘Hey, I'm an American. I want to go in the embassy.’"


quote:

"I'm trying to get my family out of here," he said. "They don't deserve this – to stay in Afghanistan, to deal with Taliban. Everyone should get out of here as soon as possible."

"We don’t have safety anymore."


quote:

He had this message for President Biden: "Please help all these families that are on the street. Their kids are not deserving this. They help you and they help America, they help the world. They put their life at risk to help the world, to do the right thing. This is what my family did."

Remember: It was Trump who was not fit to be Commander-in-Chief.

I’m sure the armed forces have plans to mitigate this, which the White House takes and polls to see if they can use one of the plans.

The military was ordered to withdraw per the United State agreement, they did. The military presents is only at the permission of the new Afghan government.

Exactly what do you want Jello Joe to do, he already fricked this up?

The callousness of this administration is just mind blowing to me. How on earth they can knowingly abandon our own citizens and people that willingly signed up to help our cause, whatever that had turned into over time, it just kills me. We’re supposed to be better than this. I believe many of us are. But the leadership is such a disaster. Our enemies and allies know it. I’m 44 and this feels like the low point in my American experience. September 11th was raw anger. I don’t have that feeling with this. This is different.

Your government won't help you. It has left you in this position. You and your family have a substantial chance of perishing because of this.

It's a terrible realization for those who depend on and trust the government.

As an American Patriot, retired Veteran, Iraq War participant, Father, and Husband, this is infuriating and heartbreaking.

Have we no Honor? Loyalty?

Thanks for your Service

Yes we as Americans have Honor. This was not for nothing. We have not had a 911 event since this fiasco started. It was not in vain.
Our Govt. Turds are the ones that have no Honor.

Thank you for your service, Navy. I just watched every single Twitter vid that was linked to in one of the GP articles. Watching those people be abused and crying our for help was beyond description. I’d rather die taking one of them with me than watch my family go through that.

I don’t believe that we do at the highest levels. If they had any they would resign in shame at their catastrophic failure. Then they would do the honorable thing and kill themselves.
