Commander Ahmad Massoud

They do not want to leave Afghanistan.

They want to stay and fight.

And we have enough credible and talented and experienced and trained personnel to take back Afghanistan and bring back order.

However, when they see the messaging of the world is that we don't care, give in to the will of Taliban, now the Taliban are our new besties, then they have no choice to say then at least save us too.

Well, first and foremost, once again, I need to emphasize that

paying attention to Afghanistan and what, for example, the veterans are doing, it's something that will decrease the feeling of people toward America, that they will know that the politicians failed them, that those who fought alongside them didn't forget.

So it's something very important.

And secondly, I believe it is very much beneficial for the people of Afghanistan

America to know how policies affect the people thousands of miles away from them.

And I believe that veterans can be that voice to tell because of their experience, because of their knowledge, what happened and what is happening, how the policies are affecting how the world sees America.

and they can help in the future policies.

We are on the season of election.

I believe it is veterans are always being hold very high in the eyes and mind of people of America.

They always hold them in high status because of what they have done for their country.

And I believe it's important for the future of America as well, that for the politicians, those who want to come and those who aren't, to listen to these veterans and to know their feeling and to know what they say.

because they're in touch with their counterparts in Afghanistan and they have the experience in Afghanistan.

And I believe that ignoring them, it's a grave mistake that not only affect Afghanistan, but will affect the future of those who want to join army, who want to join the Navy and who want to join the Air Force, that they will see that, okay,

All these values that we have been preached to, we are going to Afghanistan for this.

It was nothing but a lie.

Our administration keep lying to us.
