US Embassy in Pakistan repeatedly hangs up on veteran pleading for help

A former U.S. soldier in Pakistan said the U.S. Embassy repeatedly hung up on him as he pleaded for help and wouldn’t let him enter the building to speak with a government official.

The former staff sergeant, an Afghan native, said he traveled from the U.S. to Pakistan to try to help his family escape the Taliban and flee Afghanistan....

...The veteran said the Taliban, ISIS-K and al Qaeda were all at the Pakistan border, making it harder and more dangerous for anyone trying to escape Afghanistan. ...

..."If there's anyone out there that can help me, help my family, help all these other individuals, U.S. citizens, U.S. green card holders, our Afghan allies, please, please help us," the veteran said. "We're in dire need of help."

today is Nov 18. We pulled out Aug 31. Why are there still people at the Paki border? I faintly recall the State Dept telling people if they couldnt get out by the airport to get out however they can. So why isn't this administration following thru and where are our congresscritters on this??

Dealing with the scum at US embassies and consulates makes me wonder why foreigners bomb them. They’re only there to spy on Americans.

I really don’t understand what’s going on here.
Let me take that back;
Perhaps I do know what’s going on, but I just do not want to believe that my country, my White House would go out of their way to treat an American in need in such a trashy manner.

I don’t think this would have happened even during the Clinton years, not to deliberately, not in such a widespread manner. Thousands of our people are still over there, at the Talibans’ disposal. It truly boggles the mind.
No one who could change things is really talking about it

Biden turned his back on Americans he abandoned in Afghanistan. It looks like you’re SOL even if you survive escaping the Taliban.

“where are our congresscritters on this??” -— There ignore American political prisoners too, and obsess over stupid things like Gosar videos. The last time they really fought a POTUS was when Trump was President.

What really sucks, is that he will never be held accountable. That REALLY sucks.

Some members of the current administration and military top brass deserve the firing squad for allowing this.

It’s heartbreaking. I have to constantly remind myself God is in control, and constantly pray for the lost.

We have bigger problems in this country right now, a young man is on trial for murder because he shot a guy who was trying to bash his head in with a skateboard, shot another because he had a gun pointed at his head. All of this was unprovoked!
Stay in afghanistan and fight your way out. America is not going to help you as long as brandon is in charge.

Yes, I understand that vengeance is mine, says the Lord, but we would rather not wait till they are in the Lake of Fire. 😀👍😁
