Lt. Col. Scott Mann, U.S. Army, Green Beret, Part 2 'Pineapple Express'

from Veterans Chronicles · host Radio America

Last week, we presented our first interview with retired U.S. Army Green Beret Lt. Col. Scott Mann to discuss his military service, including several years in Afghanistan. Several weeks ago, Col. Mann was also part of a determined effort to rescue Afghan friends and allies while evacuation flight were still available at the airport in Kabul. This private effort was dubbed "The Pineapple Express." In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," you'll hear how Mann and others used their many contacts to establish a network of people in order to shepherd friends and allies safely to the custody of U.S. Marines at the airport. You'll also learn about the immense danger involved in trying to navigate Kabul with vengeful Taliban at every street corner and mass chaos outside the airport. Mann will also tell what is happening now to assist our allies now that the U.S. military is out of Afghanistan.
