US to begin airlifting Afghan interpreters by the end of July
[KhaamaPress] United States administration announced yesterday that due to rapid escalation in violence and threats by the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
, they will begin flying Afghan interpreters in the last week of July.

Officials in the Biden crime family administration
...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know...
said those who have already applied for Special Immigration Visa and their families will be prioritized.

The exact date of the first flight’s departure cannot be revealed but President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?...
’s commitment of flying out Afghan interpreters will be applied, added the official.

Joe Biden in his speech of major policy on Afghanistan reiterated that the Afghans who have assisted in their 20-year presence in Afghanistan will not be left behind and will be relocated to a third location.

Prior to his decision, Biden was under immense bipartisan pressure to clarify his plan for flying out Afghan interpreters and Afghans in other roles

Human and women’s rights groups in an unprecedented move asked Biden’s administration to allocate up to 2000 visas for women journalists, politicians, rights advocates, and minorities in Afghanistan since they are subjected to threats by the Taliban.

The group too pleaded UK the same move.

There are currently 18 thousand Afghan applicants who have applied for SIV.

#2 I'll bet some of them did not contribute in any real way to the great victory in Afghanistan and instead the CIA owes them a good life in the free world somehow.

#3 Perhaps we should not wait 50 years to extend recognition, assistance, and tribute to those who survived, risked their lives, and lost their country. My thanks to MAJ(Ret) Steve Schofield and SF Chapter 73 for leading the effort to finance and construct the memorial in Deland Park, Sheboygan, WI.

The ”making” of the Lao, Hmong and American Veterans Memorial

Feckless government bureaucrats did nothing. Aging US Veterans and private citizens designed, financed, and built the memorial.
