Sohail Pardis was on his way to pick up his sister in Afghanistan's Khost province for the upcoming Eid celebrations marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. What was supposed to be a joyous occasion turned into a horrific nightmare as he reached a Taliban-controlled checkpoint along his route to Kabul. As CNN reported Friday, villagers witnessed Taliban militants drag Pardis out of the vehicle and behead him.

Translators are innocent people who go out of their way to help the American military and their allies.

Yet they're often abandoned and usually murdered despite often asking for asylum.

There is actually a sitcom now on CBS about people like this

United States of AL

About an Afghani translator who moves in with an American family. But the show whitewashed the issues these people face and I'm pretty sure doesn't mention he could have been beheaded

To be fair, its a lighthearted comedy. And besides, iirc, they touched on the issue in one of the early episodes.

You shouldve said the Taliban are disgusting because at least that would have been accurate. That said, the US should strive to help as many allies as they can.

Wait, I thought we were granting asylum to these people? Why did he get left behind wtf? Could have sworn I read that somewhere. Also out of all the military the translator should have been one of the first priorities to bring back to america. Fuck man, all of this shit sucks. Just fuck America sometimes. Shit like this is causing our down fall.

Edit: turns out they are still in the middle of evacuating these people. So not everyone has been evacuated yet. This guy in particular would not have been evacuated anyways as hmyou need to work with the US. For at least 2 years to be eligible. So while maybe we would ahve come for him, he still would have been on the bonus sheet and they have thousands to go through before they even got to him.

Unfortunately this is what we left behind but we can't stay any longer. We gave then 20 years and they still don't have a bounce of fighting strength against the taliban. Either the government is complete shite or we sucked at our job for training them. Probably both.

According to the article washington is dragging their feet getting it done and over half of people who applied for asylum will be denied.

On top of that the only safe airfield to extract them is in Kabul and many of them dont live there, so they would have to pass the taliban checkpoints to get there and would likely be killed.

Also the Taliban wont just kill them, they will kill their children and wives

No shit, the Taliban are evil and is the actual fault, but this guy was directly aiding the US army and they should've looked after him. This is like saying a teacher who failed to properly care for a student in a field trip should instead blame it on the wild animal/car/nature.

Yeah it is interesting; apparently the US did a pretty good job of resettling Vietnamese translators after Vietnam but have done a terrible job with Afghanis. One wonders if this will come back to bite the US when the next conflict takes place in Greenland and they need Inuit translators but no one wants to help or w/e

First, dont compare Afghan Muslim militants to a wild animal. Thats just no.

Second, I already said the US should help their allies. You literally quoted it. Go ask Biden and Congress why they didnt lower the two year requirement and get them out sooner, since the White House was dead set on expediting the US drawdown and exit of troops there.

The US has been blocking these translators from becoming refugees for years.

Makes what Trump did to the Kurds feel like standard operating procedure.

Huge numbers of Vietnamese refugees were allowed to come west due to the Vietnam war, I guess we didn't want a repeat of that for some reason?

It's going to look bad for Biden, unfortunately. This is one thing I really disagreed with, pulling out of Afghanistan at lightning speed. The Taliban is picking up all our leftover military gear and using it against civilians.

It's basically vietnam all over again. Unless China steps in to prop up Kabul and it's leadership after we leave, they are fucked.

Imagine wanting to defend a military fuck-up so badly you try to deflect to "but Biden" and stick up for the Taliban.
