President Joe Biden has effectively executed former US Navy veteran Mark Frerichs, as well as thousands of Afghan translators employed with the US military during Afghanistan’s 20-year war on terror.
The closure of Bagram Airbase was the last stand for US military personnel and translators who risked their lives to assist Americans in defeating the Taliban, and they have now been painted with a large bullseye and will continue to be hunted down by terrorists seeking their form of vengeance for assisting the US.
The handover of Bagram Air Post to Afghan forces was accomplished without pomp or fanfare, signaling the end of an era at a base that has served as the nerve core of the United States’ counterterrorism effort in Afghanistan for years.
There has been a tiny bipartisan movement in the United States Congress to raise awareness of the dangerous situation they are in and the virtually probable fatal retaliation they would face from Taliban troops.
US Special Operations troops headquartered there sought al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, the Taliban, and other extremist groups.
“Let me be clear.
If he doesn’t act and get these guys out, blood will be on his hands and the hands of his administration, and I for one will hold him very publicly and very loudly accountable,” threatened U.S. Army Green Beret Congressman Michael Waltz (R) in a June interview with The Florida Pundit.
Rep. Waltz’s colleague Rep.Stephanie Murphy (D) similarly expresses her alarm over the Taliban abandoning Afghan translators, their families, and others to slaughter.
“I’m particularly concerned about the ladies, Afghani women, and those who helped with our troops,” Rep. Murphy added.
“My family and I left Vietnam.
My parents had been in the US military, and I don’t want the same thing that happened when the US left Vietnam to happen here in Afghanistan to people who had been in the US military.”
