Didn’t sound like he praised the Taliban, just that he would have been better off he had sided with them…

Guessing he was abandoned by the DoD he served…. Which sucks. The folks who helped US forces shouldn’t be abandoned. But generally are…

Well, at least we don’t have to pay for his jail time.

How many more ticking time bombs are out there in the “refugee” community?

Way too many

 

[nagantguy]

To bad he wasn’t here illegally- then they would have been hands off

 

[theLBC]

people assume the afghans that served western forces are somehow "good" by default.
personally, i don't think pushing western perversion or sin on muslims because you're getting paid means you're the good guy.

 

[Ronws]

Yeah, more fallout from Potato's pull-out.

The officer was very patient with him.

How do you mean "abandoned by the DOD"?
He was brought here and given the opportunity to be whatever he wanted. He was living at a level that 90% of the world only dream about. It's not like he was two miles down a hole digging for gold and only being paid enough to buy the day's bread and water.

Maybe they abandoned him because he was an amazing asshole and a raving nut job!

Maybe he thought he would get on welfare and be a leech for the rest of his life, but it didn’t work out that way.

No support network. No idea howTo transition from The 9th century to live in the US. Lots of these guys saw serious combat, but have no VA or VFW or buddy system. They lost family, home, contacts.

If we are going to throw them a lifeline, don’t dump them off the C130 and show them the gate and say “good luck.” Which is what the Potato did. Brought over thousands awhile risked their lives and gave up a lot as de facto US troops. And then gave illegal shitbags coming across the border more outreach and assistance.

We did the same to the Vietnamese who worked for us by the tens of thousands… ran out on them and left them to become nationless boat people. While letting Castro dump his shit on Miami.

We did the same to the Free Poles who fought hard as hell in WW2. Sent them back to be shot and re-educated under the Soviets (while welcoming thousands of Germans into our rocket programs and Intel operations).

Not saying he was anything but a guy who went off the rails. But maybe he would not have gone off the rails if he had some help adjusting. Or maybe he would have.

But we owe something to the foreigners who die in droves so Americans get to go home. Giving the. A new life in USA is a great start! But helping them adjust to it is pretty important, too!

Just my two percent of a dollar.

It was real with Soviet defectors, too.

So pretty much the same way every other veteran is treated. Did you get all the sigs on your checkout chit? Great here's your DD214. Check in with the VA if you have any questions/problems. The ones with issues may have family but they don't have a clue, the VA just wrote scripts, VFW is just a drinking hall and the buddy system? Your buddy has the same issues.
I'm not saying that they didn't get treated shitty but it ain't different from anyone else. Expectations vs reality is a hard pill to swallow and usually turns into regret.
Disclaimer. I have no idea what resources were provided to them and all of it can't be laid at the feet of Joe potato. Many came here years before he was in office. Bush, Kenyan and Trump brought in many of them.

This cat was in the US since 2014, this ain’t the potato’s fault. Guys that got the SIVs got traveling money for them and their family, then got a bit of settling cash to set up home and get to work.

I helped a few with theirs, still keep in touch with them from time to time, they’re doing well. One had his wife not like the US and was homesick for Kabul, she went back. Dumb…
