Many of you will remember me mentioning my best friend's Son in Law, who is a Navy Seal Team Leader.

The team's Afghan Translator and his family are at the Kabul Airport at this moment, Visas in hand waiting for some sort of flight out. My friend's wife just called and relayed information from her Seal Leader Son in Law, asking for earnest prayer for the safety of Rashied and his family.

I know several things.

- The Kabul airport is under intermittent shelling by the Taliban, who want to stop all flights out.

- When they catch any US Military supporter, they quickly kill them and their families, except according to my Seal friend, they do worst than just killing the women and children.

- Rashied saved American Seal lives during his time with the Team on more than one deployment.

- To my former and current military brothers and any others who will pray, I ask you to please stop for a moment and pray that God will place a shield of protection around Rashied and his family, so that they can escape death. There are others at the airport also, desperate to get away from death. Please pray for them also.

- Thanks for your prayers.

Doesn't happen often but I'm literally embarrassed to be an American today

Edit - scratch that, ashamed is the correct term.

And THIS is an example of why I'm sick to my stomach.

They are people just like us who want a better life. We owe them that (for those who want and who helped save our people).

I'm sorry and am praying for your friend and his family.

Who came up with this plan?? The current administration has blood on their hands. This level of incompetence is hard to fathom.

Man, that's terrifying. The fact that all of this is happening so fast is scary as frick. I hope they (and everyone else) can get out of there safely, and sooner rather than later.

Some of it wasn’t incompetence. The former Afghan ambassador said last night that the Afghan government stopped sending aid to the front line and the troops were ordered to stand down and not fight.

Coco I'm sitting in the comfort of my home and am worried sick about these people. I can't begin to imagine what these people are going through there.

It always happens suddenly.

There's a reason Jesus always says do stuff immediately.

Biden just gonna spin this onto Trump and the libturd faithful will lap that up with zero consequence to the Dems. Meanwhile poor innocents will pay the price cause Ramadan came early for the Talifrickinban

I’m honestly having a very hard time coming to terms with the fact that this country would use these translators and promise them safety in return just to cast them by the wayside when they need our protection the most. It’s sickening.
