This guy will be dead about 13 minutes after he steps off the plane back in Kabul. Then his head will be put on a spike in the town square as a warning and a reminder that the US military doesn't protect those who help them.

Yup.

He risked his life to help our Troops. Risked his life.

And this is how Pres Trump punishes him for that.

Statistics from the Taliban's Supreme Court and statements from officials across Afghanistan indicate that the group publicly flogged 583 people and executed six individuals during 2024.

UN experts, including Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett, called on the Taliban to immediately halt all "inhumane punishments" in Afghanistan, including public executions and corporal punishment, after four executions were carried out in a single day last week.
