no different than what we did to the Yards...

The interpreters who worked for American and NATO forces during the recent Afghanistan war are among our bravest and most loyal allies. They played an essential role educating foreign troops about the local culture they so badly needed to understand, and sourcing intelligence.
As the US withdraws from Afghanistan, the tens of thousands of Afghans who put their own and their families’ lives at risk, because they believed US promises would be fulfilled, should now be offered safe haven. Instead, a majority of the interpreters are being denied transit to the US, or left in limbo for years on end.
VICE News spoke with several interpreters now living across the world about their experiences since ending their work with the US and NATO, and those broken promises.
In Part 1, VICE News correspondent Ben Anderson speaks with Srosh, an interpreter that he first met in December 2010. They spent five weeks together as US Marines attempted to defeat the insurgency in Sangin — the most violent district of Afghanistan’s most violent province. The Marines that Srosh worked for have since returned home, but he remains in hiding.

The doctor that actually gave us Osama is rotting in a Pakistani prison.
The U.S. does not look after its friends.
As one interpreter said in trailer... “no one believes the US anymore, they are liars!”
Stop being fools.
100%
Yup.
The media is applauding as hoards of gangsters are being welcome from Mexico by this administration.
We do this after every war.
I forgot to add there is a video at Vice News link and at Youtube.

“As one interpreter said in trailer... “no one believes the US anymore, they are liars!””
Anyone paying attention knew this was going to happen, with a Democrat in the White House.
When hasn’t it, at least in my lifetime?
They definitely should be offered safe passage.
I personally think this is deliberate to hurt the reputation of the United States. If we abandon them, who can trust us?
and the Filipinos after WW11
BTW, vice.com is increasingly becoming a site to go to because it reports a lot of raw news that the msm will not.
The Obama doctrine: Delete the messages or shoot the messengers.

I think you are probably correct. It is bloody sad.
Obama & the Democrats are liars, not all of the US, there is a difference.
I would like to tell them I agree with them. I don’t trust Obama, et al either!
“When hasn’t it, at least in my lifetime?”
Why anyone thinks a Democrat is going to defend the US at any time is beyond me. Bunch of arrogant commie clueless fools can’t run a *hit house.
Or the Hmong in Southeast Asia.
