Just so you know who Stinchfield is screaming at here, this is from the New York Times reporting on Joe Saboe’s volunteer efforts to help coordinate evacuations for Americans and Afghan allies still stuck in Afghanistan after the withdrawal, dated August 28th and updated September 28th:
“Mr. Saboe, 36, deployed to Iraq years ago and now is the chief executive of a small start-up and a youth soccer coach. But this past week he became an unofficial commander in an impromptu network of veterans and citizen volunteers who came together to execute an ad hoc mission to get American citizens and Afghan allies safely out of Kabul before the American airlift ends. His group of about 200 volunteers, which calls itself Team America, is one of several grass-roots efforts that sprang out of the chaos of the U.S. withdrawal. The swift collapse of Afghanistan was deeply troubling to many in the United States, but military veterans felt a whole different level of anguish as they started getting pleas for help from Afghan interpreters and others they worked with.”
