How bad was Biden's retreat from Afghanistan?
While we mostly stopped talking about it, every week or so there's a new revelation that shows that the administration lied about how many Americans it left behind and that the actual abandonment was worse than what was previously reported.
The Pentagon is stepping up efforts to get family members of U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, creating a database of the dozens who are trapped there.

If you thought that the Biden administration's lies about a full and complete evacuation running on schedule were bad, they manage to get worse every week.

There are still several dozen immediate family members of U.S. service members in Afghanistan, according to defense officials. Those include children, sisters and brothers, and parents. There are well over 100 extended family members still in Afghanistan, but it’s not clear how many of them want to leave the country, the officials said. --->READ MORE HERE
