Left Behind: How botched AFG evac leads to death and What’s Next

from Eye on Veterans · host CBS News

We discuss the anniversary of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan with Army combat veteran, Intelligence Officer, and fierce Afghanistan activist Matt Zeller. He cites specific examples of how the US State Dept officials on-site knowingly stranded thousands of interpreters and shares some stunning data from The Association of Wartime Allies. Zeller also discussed how this botched evacuation process, can lead to suicide among veterans who are now suffering the moral injury of being unable to assist those who fought to save their life. Here are some key takeaways from our interview, and the ways Zeller offers everyone to get involved: Hammer your Senator and/or Representatives to Pass The Afghan Adjustment Act now! If we can get 100K Ukranains here to safety, we can do it for allies who fought with us.
