Nope, I just checked. Even with current GPA scale it is a C.

They didn't tell them that.

If I went to Afghanistan how would they know I was there and where I was at?

Do I have to explain the jokes?  ::)

On DDF? IME, an absolute, resounding YES!
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

https://theconversation.com/afghanistans-panjshir-valley-the-last-stronghold-of-resistance-to-taliban-rule-166599

I read that no-one managed to win against the people of Panjshir, not the Russians, not the Taliban, no-one. The Taliban seem to be converging on the area, massacring men women and children. The leader of the resistance is emboldened. There are fears of thiis becoming a very bloody civil war. Russia reported to be arming Tajikistan in order to block Afghan spillover into Tajikistan.

Shilling for the team ? They will never admit if Afghani’s are left behind and will probably never know. Kudos to Biden for stepping up to the plate but it doesn’t excuse his not taking responsibility that will probably leave many behind.

You have me confused with the Kool-aid drinkers.
I opposed the pull out and said he failed with his plan.
They are now doing a great job getting these people out. At the current rate there could be another 100k+ by 8/31. Sounds like way too many.

They keep pushing these big numbers which is great but I want to know how many people we made promises to are still there. We need to take out every single one. I’m also concerned with the Admin using alternate language, they say “every American” will be taken out while Afghan will be “helped” which denotes that not all will be removed.

I asked before and will ask again. What promises did we make and to who?

It is widely reported that the military made promises to interpreters. Numbers exactly is up to Admin to release, which they aren’t doing

Out of the 70k+ so far it seems only 4-5k are Americans. Can there be that many interpreters?
