The ridiculous part is the Biden administration cancel the Trump agreement with Taliban but doing the same in a worse way. That said, I hope the few remaining troops in Afghanistan will not be in bad trouble in the close future.
They want time to bring in ISIS members into the US. Par for the course. Most interpreters go on welfare. Whatever way you count, the US will have more home grown terrorists die to relocating these interpreters. You can count per 11000 or total number, but we will have blowback, It would have been cheaper to pay them 6 figure salaries and tell them up front you ain't going to America.
