The situation in Afghanistan is deeply saddening for so many reasons...

This is a horrendous situation, one that this country has absolutely been responsible for. I could go into the myriad of ways in which that's the case. But I don't really think I need to explain that to many people. It's pretty cut and dry. Almost my entire life. We've lived with this conflict. It started when I was a child. I remember it like yesterday and the fervor and intensity that you would find in the American public for the war in Afghanistan

Hey, Taylor, thank you for posting this. I just finished a listen to a swell that's come in. That where harsh. It is harsh as his handle. And he reads a letter from a filmmaker just to flee for help. I'm going to put the link here to that as well. And I've asked him if he can link us to that letter so that we can all amplify the request of that letter, because if the table connects to the internet, they will be screwed

It's not a right/left issue...rather a humanitarian issue

There's definitely some bad footage coming out of there that is bad. It's the inflammatory talk that gets this to a right versus left issue. And I would argue that if you think this is a right versus left issue, you got to think that this is a 20 year occupation. This has survived Republican presidencies, Democratic presidencies and just about any mix of Senate, House and presidency that you can think of between political parties. This is not a right versus left issue

So as I ramble on my real upset and confusion is that the United States committed to send troops into Afghanistan to specifically train troops. We invested tons of money into training 300,000 would be soldiers and policemen to be able to defend themselves against the Taliban and other bad influencers if we want to call them Bid influencers. I think that from my head
