Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley is going to get these people killed. What message does that send to those in the future who would otherwise help us?
This is driving me nuts.
Who trusts a country that won't honor its commitments when the stakes are life and death? Nobody, because honor matters.
Honor our commitments. Bring these people home. >

Some Afghans trusted us after we told the Kurds and Shiites to rise up in Iraq in 91, abandoned them and they were slaughtered.
I understand wanting to honor the deals we make but countries break deals all the time and then people still trust them.
Shitty but true 😕 >

True enough, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't expect better from our government. >

Well of course we should.
But your argument was that breaking the deal would hurt us down the road. And I demonstrated that history doesn't back that up.
