Mike Rogers: It Will Be a ‘Stain on Our National Honor’ When We Walk Away from the Women in Afghanistan

‘I think it will be a stain on our national character when we walk away from these women’

EXCERPT:

ROGERS: "An irrational decision, the one person that America stood behind was General Mattis. That was the first casualty of this decision. And listen, if you pull away from an area that we know is fostering ideas for further attacks, which is the Taliban — remember, they’ve closed down 174 girls’ schools in the eastern provinces. They have burned schools, they have shot women. We in the United States said we’re going to ask 50 percent of the population to come forward and be a part of the solution for stabilization in Afghanistan. I think it will be a stain on our national character when we walk away from these women."
