That intelligence, if they release the video footage of this combat, like, our guys aren't war criminals on objective. They're not fighting innocent farmers. Do civilians die in war? Yes, they do. But that's the result of terrorists who bring their families along on jihad to come fight us. Like, that's the sad reality of war. But that's not our guys.

So I will circle back at some point and then talk about the period from when she was dumped before the peace deal to how she got out of Afghanistan, because that was an incredible story. But I think it's very important to focus on what the embassy knew and why they did that. Well, I guess a better question is, why didn't they know this intel? Why didn't they DNA test?

Like a DNA test, it's the most biometrically enrolled society on earth. Like we have a lab set up that does it in four days. I have her DNA swab. The DOD did in December of 2019. I have it downstairs. Like we had her DNA. We tested six or eight other people. Why was this person on DNA tested? And what's my real concern is did they know it was a negative test when they dumped her?

Like, I'd like to know that. Like, did state know these people were not family when they handed her off or just assume that risk? Because what happened next was we found out that they were gonna, to not vet whoever she should be turned over to. And so we actually, as a captain,

We sued in federal court to try to prevent that from happening, saying you cannot do this in an objectively dangerous manner based on everything we know. She's a foreign fighter's child and that you're likely turning over to non-relative terrorist affiliated. You can go look up the court case. It says that. And it said all the risk factors.

It said who the Turkestan Islamic Party was and some of these pictures of children in their training camps. We filed it under seal because we didn't want to put any Americans at risk because we still had troops on the ground.

Some rando claiming a familial relationship. And with children having value as chattel, essentially, like, hey, does anyone want a baby and trolling around in rural Afghanistan? I bet you get people claiming just offering a child because they're valuable, right? And we were getting reports at the time in Kabul of the conditions on the ground.
