Nick Schifrin discussed more with Shawn VanDiver of Afghan Evac.

    It’s a shame.

    Many of these Afghan deportees helped us fight our stupid forever war that we shouldn’t have been in to begin with, and they’re going to be repaid with treachery and death. That sends a message to people who might be willing to help us internationally, and it’s that we’re a dishonorable people.
