This is a neighborhood resident who listed this note on behalf of her friend and very much worth repeating given our presence in Afghanistan. We love and pray for all our military service men and women.
Afghanistan. 14 hr ago, Sent Saturday the 28 th 11:33 AM A dear friend of mine on here wants me to pass a message along. She is posting her own updates, but I will keep her name hidden for OPSEC reasons on my part. Her son is a Master Gunnery Sergeant in Afghanistan. Part of the just 2.5K troops left there. He helped oversee the removal of vital equipment and technology in the past month. This man is literally crying about how the military is being portrayed in the news. He wants everyone to know that they got most of everything out in time. The items that the Taliban have are things given to the Afghan Army. His unit/battalion made sure that everything truly useful was rendered absolutely useless to the Taliban. He is angry and sad that the military on ground is being portrayed as useless. He would also like the world to know that in the past 3 days, they have evacuated around 28K people and that he is proud to stay behind until everyone is out of there.
