“St. Louis is just one of many cities across the nation that will become home to thousands of Afghan refugees. Offering them the opportunity to find safety and shelter is something the United States has done throughout many crises in history.”
The situation was completely mishandled. We should have withdrew American civilians first, then weapons and equipment, THEN our soldiers. Pulling our soldiers out first has left the Talbian free weapons and plenty of Americans to slaughter, BUT that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also offer the Afghan people who worked closely with us the opportunity to seek safety and shelter.
You can believe in putting your country first AND caring for everyone. It’s why most of us care for our children before our neighbors.
