American Veterans Help Evacuating Afghans with "digital Dunkirk"-Crowdsourcing Help

Veterans don't stop serving their country when they shake their dusty boots off back in the U.S.. They continue to serve their friends and people they knew back in Afghanistan years after knowing them. Because the situation is deteriorating, we don't know exactly how much, these veterans want to help people who are trying to leave Afghanistan do so.

There are stories of some level of harassment of people trying leave (....not sure of how much and to what extent as it seems different reports are being released to he public). However, strategically I think that the Taliban should let whomever wants to leave to just go without any problems. Its a better omen then the many other options they currently have and in turn can go a long way if they seek "normalization" in the future (The cold war may have started last year and chances are Afghanistan will be a piece in this. :(.)

All life is precious and we hope that people who want to leave can do so peacefully and without harm. It provides for the best overall outcomes and it indicates that any withdrawal commitments and/or reasonable expectations will be honored. The safe return of people to the US and the best wishes for the struggling Afghan people should be at the forefront of our minds (We can pray for the best outcomes for a safe, stable and peaceful Afghanistan).

This list contains information and “lessons learned” by US military veterans trying to help our Afghan friends. Please use this as a resource and know we are doing our best to be helpful here. The situation in Kabul and elsewhere changes rapidly and we will try to keep this updated. We are very sorry our friends and allies are suffering right now.
