Allies

Episode 6: Allies Refuge


Listen Later

20 years of war and broken bureaucracy culminate during the US withdrawal at the Kabul airport. Thousands of Afghans rush to the tarmac where American forces sort through the crowds. Veterans, advocates and politicians try to get their allies out while the Taliban rapidly takes control of Afghanistan.  


You’ll hear first-hand accounts of people fleeing Afghanistan. And how thousands more were left behind to face an uncertain future. 


Guests: Hakimi, Chris Purdy @itsapurdy, Jawad Sukhenyar @JawadSukhanyar, Seth Moulton @sethmoulton, Peter Meijer @RepMeijer, Elliot Ackerman, @elliotackerman
