Whether or not we should have left Afghanistan, we certainly should not have left in the way that we did. And we especially should not be actively trying to stop those who want to get out like the US state department has done. In this episode, we discuss some of the stories of those who have escaped, the massive failure of the bureaucracy to allow others to get out, and some of the heinous acts the State Department may have committed to prevent private efforts to help.
