As the Taliban claims to control a majority of Afghanistan, there are growing concerns over the safety of thousands of Afghan contractors and translators who worked with U.S. troops. While President Biden said there is a home for them in the U.S., a translator tells NBC News’ Richard Engel that he’s gotten a lot of announcements but no action.» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Growing Safety Concerns For Afghan Translators as U.S. Troops Withdraw
Sends me dizzy how people can walk into America but these poor people have to jump through hoops to get there. These people and there families should get pulled out with the troops.
over 3 million Americans on the street because they cannot pay the rent please do not send these translator to United States send them to Turkey some Muslim country they're going to be OK up there in safe
0:48 when these reporters go to Kabul – do they have armed protection or are they on their own?
Smart people joking, brainless people dying for it. Did US not allow Afghan gov not to hold election for politicians and gov that ppl want. Fight for freedom~ should ask what they dont have!
It won't happen, this is America…we use and discard allies faster than you can fill out an immigration form
No doubt thoses peoples should be brought back as the same time as the troops..then we can all enjoy the country killing themelves ..they wanted the armies to leave. They got it .good luck….
Shame on us for betraying Afghanistan.
This act of betrayal practically kls the humanities in Afghanistan. Women and children will all be victimised by Taliban and the religious maggots.
Think it over, it would be better to let Russia rules Afghanistan since 1980s, at least women Will have a fairer social treatment.
NATO troops are fleeing Afghanistan, which confirms Afghanistan's status as a graveyard of empires…
Nobody is ever going to trust US troops again if these people are left there to be executed one by one. Really hope they get help as soon as possible.
Without a pay, otherwise it is not a help, just a job.
He should immigrate illegally, it's much faster that way and the government will pay for housing.
Leave them !man up , and fight. There didn't help for free, they got paid , the translators were mercenaries.
All of the Afghan women should just leave.
Taliban Slaughtering surrendering soldiers. They’re no chance now.
Game over tom.
E hey haw!?! Innit? She said….
US should stop in middle east ,

I worked with many "tajimana" during my time over there. We need to bring these guys to safety, as promised.
No One Gets Left Behind.😱🙄
Taliban Russia is coming be ready
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Samething happened to many Mexicans soldiers during different USA invasions & wars .
Just like in Vietnam,they were promised then left behind..
We need to get them all out AND NOW!
Tell Tom to go to Mexico, then jump the fence.
NATO trained Afghan forces how to flee from battle ground like US doing now 🤣

Read the history of Afghanistan. No foreign power has ever been able to stay in Afghanistan, be it in the British Empire or the Soviet Union, the US-NATO alliance. That is why they have named Afghanistan ‘Graveyard of Empires’. What is the benefit of so many years of aggression in the war-torn country for 20 years in the name of peace? Instead, it has killed innocent people and cost the United States 2.23 trillion.The world should be left to the Afghans to decide their own future
The Taliban said that they won't harm the afghans that worked with the Army!
And they were paid well also
The same with those who helped our Aussie troops over there, the gov need to bring them here
Biden plan is not realistic. The interpreters are concerned. Because many interpreters do not have electrical ID, which takes weeks and without elwctrical ID one can not get passport.
Keep weeping
Just like Vietnam
…bring 10s of thousands of radicals here to USA
Afghanistan will fold like a cheap house of cards. Cowards don't want to fight for their own country..
Easy to get Russia
50 years ago and USA last 20 years
To give their lives
I don't get it, if even the military has letters of recommendation and all, why are they stuck in limbo? Shouldn't this be something simple to resolve, heck couldn't Congress do something after literally 20 years of war? Is it still too soon to make any sort of sensible decision or are they really as unpatriotic as the insurrectionists by not considering any legislation to get those people out?
There is no excuse for lack of land or resources, there are literally more empty houses in the country than there are homeless people. The artificial nature of the "economy" has never made much sense.
There is a home, in the untitled states, at a corner gas station. Selling beer and cigarettes.
Soon very soon we Americans will be like them fortunately we have many ants and worms better get some moisture collectors and filters.

This world needs to help each other more thank goodness for. The. USA. Out of all this time in years that has gone by I cannot figure out why any of the presidents that's been there in the White House hasn't gotten rid of the Taliban. If we can get rid of all these bad people everyone else can be at ease and peace because that's what they're looking for. But a lot of people keep saying that our men and women is time for them to come home. They've been there long enough. We really don't need to get into any more of their mess over there help the people that are wanting to do right and separate them from the bad put them in cages like dogs like they did other people
Bring them here. They've proven their loyalty. Don't wait until them and their families begin getting slaughtered, bring them to the U.S.
Biden surrenders to the Taliban. Who didn’t see this coming?
