Paul Rieckhoff: ‘The Debacle in Afghanistan ... Continues to Unfold’

‘There are as many as 100 Americans still left behind, there could be hundreds of thousands of Afghan allies left behind’

EXCERPT:

RIECKHOFF: “You know, it's kind of like everything having to do with the withdrawal and the evacuation Stephanie. It's a little bit of good news but this is not a good news story. The bigger story is that there are as many as 100 Americans still left behind, there could be hundreds of thousands of Afghan allies left behind, and flights haven’t left in ten days. So the debacle in Afghanistan continues to unfold, and many back here in America feel like the Afghanistan war is over. It's not over for the Afghan people, it's not over for our allies, it's not over for the veterans back home like Zack and so many others that are working to get people out and resettle people here at home. So it's the week of 9/11. We’re going to say never forget.”
