| 0:00.0 | Good evening. The show begins tonight in Afghanistan, memories of Afghanistan, three years after the withdrawal, the retreat, the bugging out, the abandonment of Afghanistan, and the people who worked with this and the people who |
| 0:13.6 | worked with us, the people who trusted us, the people who |
| 0:16.1 | depended upon us, left behind. |
| 0:18.9 | Bill Rajo and Hossena Connie join to comment on lessons learned since and not learned since by the |
