The US apointed Afghan leader recently made a plea to Americans, begging them, "please don't forget about us". Unfortunately, it's already happening.
But really, does anyone care? Do you guys actually think Afghanistan was about helping people too?
The fact that no one here has spoken of specifics to the situation is quite alarming to me. This whole, "We don't know but we're sure we still care!" mentality is sad. America destroyed the country, you think they'd atleast take an interest in what's left.

I don't know where you get your news from, but mine comes from a young man that is stationed in Afghanistan and that isn't what he tells me.
There are dangerous areas of the country and yes, our troops have to be aware, but things are getting better for the average Afghani.
The people are also warm and courteous and seem glad to have us there instead of the taliban.
