we used the word of Afghan for Pushton tribe equivalent of Taliban terrorist Group. The correct word is Afghanistani it means citizen of Afghanistan.
Wow! This story made me so happy. There are some good people in the world still. Tomorrow Trump is back in the whie house and it feels like veery dark times ahead. Stories like this is what America is supposed to be.
What an amazing story ❤❤❤
God bless Mr.Jason 🙏 wish more Americans were as brave and selfless like you and kind hearted .
I Used to work for 20 years managing US funded projects with many US and other nation expats side by side the Taliban were fighting in my city kandahar for almost 2 months their was bloodshed in south compare to northside of the country I never went to kabul airport for possible evacuation after 06 month of Taliban becoming in power I used to proceed with the same activities and worked for almost two years but this time without women colleagues, which is a big concern but despite that afghanistan was not worth to be left I believe their was no life threat to anyone inside afghanistan this is all fake stories that they make just to immigrate to EU or US.
Damn the intelligence of the US intelligence community, they are so stupid and ignorant that they can't distinguish a fake letter from the original. Everything written in this letter is completely inconsistent with Taliban literature. It is understood that it was written at home to show the Americans that their lives are in danger. Very sorry for your intelligence.
They killed 80k people in Afghanistan and take credit of just 12 people they saved from taliban 😂😂
Stories like this are made to restore our faith in humanity and to inspire us to be better humans.
I wish all the good in life to your families….you are truly survivors! 🪷
Every Afghan people have been trough this thought time but this family was one of the heroic and resilience sample thank Marine’s ❤
night letters 🙂
Fun fact: Taliban are posting night letters to the targets before killing or imprisoning them 🤣🤣.
As an Afghan all these guys are telling lies to get asylum overseas. We know each other very well. Full of crap and lies . Taliban never will do that
Oh wow! Test was the biggest lie I have ever heard. Your translator lived in the US for over 30 years and jumped on the free money translator bandwagon. The nephew haha ok 21 people sponsored and paid for while our American citizens are living on the streets and addicted to drugs that Rahim and family brought here. How much is enough? Is forty yeas of begging not enough? Give me a break
Wow kudos to you Jason Kander! What guts it must take to help these people. I wish you much luck in your political career and hope to see you in our Federal Government soon.
He’s talking the most rubbish
It was so sad to see so many men only think of themselves and not consider the women and children they were trying to leave
Respect and salute, sir Jason.
Still lots of people day and nights living in the darkest life period because the USA and alliance left behinds in Afghanistan 😢
And you people joy the story like this but believe me you may couldn't tolerance to hear most scared heartbroken story then this that still live in Afghanista.
Now Trump cancelled the flights of 1700 Afghans who were cleared to enter the US. They had helped the military and now they got betrayed.
Just lies to get into USA.. I m not sure why would you people believe these lies .. the afghan guy is lying ,making a drama
Definition of hero, everyone involved with helping, all heroes.
I can't wait for the whole world to be set free from the evil one. Come quickly, Lord Jesus😢😢😢😢
This reminded of that movie. Guy Ritchie's THE COVENANT
I really feel sorry for the innocent afghans but thrush is it’s them, the people, who need to fight that evil. May their god help them but we do have our own issues in the west and it’s about time we take care of our own mess.
Jason, you have my respect, You did really great job.
