This is John Bachelor speaking with my good colleague Bill Raggio, the Foundation for

Defense of Democracy's Man who Keeps The Long Word Journal.

Introducing me, thanks to Bill, to Grumpy Combat Veteran with Friends, a blog site on Substack, I recommend.

And there there is testimony by U.S. Afghan veterans and Afghan veterans who are now U.S. citizens,

one in particular, Hamid Bahamid.

Talks about how he got out and his younger brother got out.

He's an American citizen.

Left behind.

His mother and his wife and his two sisters. After some time and struggle he got his mother and wife out,

after they lived in a refugee camp on the way to him.

He's now in Dubai, I believe,

but he could be anywhere. His sisters are there left behind

with their daughters and there is no justice here. The daughters cannot go to school

they're ninth graders. These sisters cannot

go out to shop for themselves or talk in public. There's no education, no business

practices. They are confined to their homes generally speaking

it's an appalling situation however it's ordinary and typical why can't

Haman Mohammed find the State Department help to get his sisters out?

The border is porous.

People go back and forth to Pakistan all the time and other countries.

So why aren't they here? Bill has a complicated answer.

With speculation, but the fact is, his sisters and their daughters are left behind three years later more of this tonight
