Its sickening that this story is not getting anymore attention. [/quote] Your inaccurate and highly deceptive thread title has been up for 5 hours now, OP. Are you going to change it to reflect reality, or leave it as-is in an effort to rile people up? According to the NY Post article, these were Afghan girls, NOT AMERICANS. We do not need any more goddamn agitprop, thank you. OP, there’s an old saying in the military, that if you’re going to stir shit you have to lick the spoon. Hope you like the taste. [/quote] I have no intentions of deceiving anyone. I repeated the story as it was initially coming out. Of course, now that more info is available, I will gladly change the title of the thread. That said, this story is no less infuriating than had it been American women on those busses. What is taking place in Afghanistan is nothing less that vile. Those young women were innocent people caught up in this mess. [/quote] These young women are in their own country where they belong. The US had no right to put them in danger by luring them to the airport with empty promises. Now they’ve probably been captured by the Talibans to become wives, servants or worse, whereas if they’d stayed in their villages with their families they could still be leading normal brown people lives. [/quote] What's done is done, but this while situation should have been better handled all the way around. The Biden administration owes everyone for the mess they've created through mishandling the situation. Most of all, they owe those left to suffer in Afghanistan and the Americans he has turned his back on. [/quote]

New York Post
"7 buses filled with world-renowned orchestra performers — 280 girls all approved to go,” said Robert Stryk, a Washington fixer who has been coordinating private evacuation efforts in conjunction with former Navy SEAL and US Congressman Scott Taylor (R-Va.)."
“Our hearts are broken, he added. “These young girls spent 17 hours on a hot bus with no food or water and were 393 feet from freedom but were denied entry into the airport because the United States government gave [the Taliban] the power to override the US Army’s 82nd Airborne."
