(CNN)"The majority" of Afghans who worked for the United States during its two-decade military campaign were likely left behind in the chaotic and rushed evacuation from Afghanistan, a senior State Department official said Wednesday.
The official said they did not have a specific count of the Afghan Special Immigrant (SIV) applicants and family members who did not make it onto evacuation flights, "but I would say it's the majority of them, just based on anecdotal information about the populations we were able to support."
More broadly, the official described an evacuation effort confronted by numerous challenges -- one that left US officials who worked on the ground "haunted by the choices we had to make and by the people we were not able to help depart in this first phase of the operation."
"It wasn't pretty. It was very challenging," the senior official said, "and it involved some, some really painful trade-offs and choices for everyone involved."

WNU Editor: So if the majority of interpreters and visa-eligible Afghans were "left behind" .... I repeat, a majority were left behind ..... who were the 130,000 that the U.S. airlifted out of Afghanistan?!?!?!?
And as for the remaining Americans who are still stranded in Afghanistan, including two dozen American school children who are still somewhere near Kabul, who will be held accountable for that clusterf**k?

This retreat is beginning to be a major scandal.
This ought to help us immensely in our efforts to recruit Chinese, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese civilians to combat CCP expansion plans. Kinda tells them what to expect personally if the shit ever hits the fan. If it were me, I'd stay as far away from "American intelligence" (oxymoron right there) as possible. White man speak with forked tongue. Yes, indeed.
The Afghans brought into the USA are being sent to swing states. The human waves invading the southern border will also be sent to the swing states. Guess who they're going to vote for when they're given the privilege to vote. Was there a surreptitious census of Afghans serving with the US armed forces to establish which party they'd vote for if they were us citizens? If the majority favoured the Republicans, the Democratic government wouldn't want them in the country. Hence not only are they stranded in Afghanistan but the Democrats have given their personal details to the Taliban. Are the Democrats working hard to establish the USA as a one party state in the coming few years? Keep ducking 🙉
