I seriously doubt Biden will ever do that even if he does get strong criticism from Gold Star Families (as he probably will and in some cases should), but I don't see him blasting people on Twitter, that is just not in his character. |

If Biden actually gave a shit and the retreat was organized he would have gotten him out. Most people think that if someone saves your life that you would gladly do the same for them. Can't you visualize the likely last words between them 'You saved my ass Ahmad. Give me a call if you never need any help.' "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you."

Why are you so convinced that nothing is currently being done to get him out? A straight man will not go for kids. - AZDuffman |

Why are you proposing their is? Do you really think that the US is going to start running Ranger extraction raids into Afghanistan after their defeat. The Afghani's have hundred of foreign nationals trapped in the country to take hostage if you piss them off. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

I would believe that extraction plans are being made for some of the people left behind. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

I will remember that the next time we put our ass on the line to protect some of your embassy staff. The remainder were held hostage for 14 months since you couldn't protect your embassy. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |
