Summary

Hank Hanegraaff, the host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast and the Hank Unplugged podcast, reflects on the devastating implications of America’s ill-conceived withdrawal from Afghanistan—as we simultaneously attempt to export progressive American values, such as encapsulated in a recent headline: “Academy of Breast Feeding Medicine Includes Chest Feeding and Father’s Milk in New Guidelines.” The U. S. withdrawal is symbolic of the discombobulation of a government and people. The only hope for Western Civilization is Christians being salt and light in a lost and searching world.

Hi, this is Hank Hennigraph, President of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Instrument

broadcast with another Hank Unplug Short.

I'll probably have a hard time putting into words, at least coherently, what I'm feeling

0:28.1

at this very moment.

0:30.8

I was only four when Vietnam was divided into the communist north and the U.S. back south.

And then about 25 years of age when when Saigon fell to advancing communist hordes from the north, it was the spring of 1975.

I'm now 71 years of age and I'm watching history repeat itself.

1:25.6

And yet, and yet the American withdrawal from Saigon was that of a very

1:34.7

different America, a very different Western civilization. In today's America, we've been trying to import our woke American values to women

1:51.0

in Afghanistan. Values that must surely make Afghanis cringe in retrospect.

2:06.2

Values like one encapsulated in the headline I read just yesterday.

2:09.6

It's still emblazoned on my mind.

2:20.3

The headline read, Academy of Breastfeeding medicine includes chest feeding, includes father's milk in our new guideline.

2:27.3

Imagine how women and children exposed to this kind of American nonsense now feel as the Taliban surrounds them

2:40.6

and begins subjecting these icons of God in virtually every dimension of their lives to horrors that are unimaginable,

2:57.8

horrors unimaginable, at least unless you think back to what happened in places like

Vietnam and Cambodia.

3:12.0

I've been to both of those places.

3:15.9

I still remember the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge.
