Blood on my Hands - One Year Later

Blood on my Hands - One Year Later

One year after our withdrawal from Afghanistan the consequences are catastrophic and devastating.

Over 70,000 SIV holders and their families are still being hunted by the Taliban.

Women's rights have been decimated while girls over 16 cannot attend school.

Afghans face mass starvation and the national security fallout feared by many is coming to fruition.

Perhaps the most egregious fact is that no member of the Joint Chiefs, Advising Generals, DOD appointees, Intelligence officers, or State Department officials, including the Secretary of State, have resigned or been terminated due to the American withdrawal from Afghanistan.

On this one-year anniversary the moral stain that is the aftermath of our withdrawal will creep into the news for a few days and then fade into the either, but the blood on our hands will remain.
