ISIS-K CAMPS OUT IN AFGHANISTAN: 2/8: Kabul: The Untold Story of Biden’s Fiasco and the American Warriors Who Fought to the End – by Jerry Dunleavy (Author), James Hasson (Author)

Countless Afghan interpreters were abandoned to the mercy of the Taliban after risking their lives alongside American troops for years. And thirteen U.S. service members—eleven of whom were still in preschool on 9/11—were murdered in an ISIS suicide bombing that could easily have been prevented.

James, I come to you because you've spoken of Bagram and my understanding is that it was perfectly designed to do what you said to hold the country together. It's either 40 kilometers or 40 miles outside of Baghdad outside of Kabul which would
