Wrote: I don't think some people truly appreciate the job that the Afghan translators did for us and most likely helped to save numerous lives of our service members. Our military raves about the help of the translators but the old people in the US that just sit on message boards all day looking for articles to post and complain about don't have a true understanding of the service that the Afghan community provided to the US over the past 20 years.

This "translator" calls himself a freelancer, removed the bread from the picture, and may have not done anything to help the US.

There are some truly genuine people that should have been offered visas and gotten out on the military planes. They love their country and want it to be free. Unfortunately that doesn't go for the majority. The rest are fine with whoever their "master" at the time is. They play both sides and do whatever so they can make money.

Look at the example in the news today. Special forces trained, the best of the best is pleading with the US to come save him. He is in hiding and wants out. He mentions a bunch how he worked for the US. There is no mention of I'm with my unit going out nightly and killing as many as we can. There is no fight for your country, family, life, etc.
