Afghan interpreter 'Carl’ SAYS “I know I’m going to die”
Carl has worked for the United States for 10 years.
While Carl doesn’t believe he will be able to evacuate, he said he is willing to try to return to the airport to get his daughter out of the country.
"If I get a chance to go back to the airport, yes, I will try," he said. "It doesn't matter if I'm going to get blown up. I'm doing all this because I have a 5-year-old daughter that I'm trying to get her out of here so she can have a great future. And I don't want her to suffer."
Jen Wilson, COO of Army Week Association, is working to evacuate Afghan allies. She has tried for two weeks to get Carl out of Afghanistan.
"We’re going to get you out," she told Carl through tears.
Despite Wilson’s effort to reassure him, Carl believes he’s going to die before he can escape.
"I know that I'm going to be left behind. I know that for sure. I know that I'm going to get killed," Carl said.
"But the good thing is that I'm not going to die for a bad thing. I’m going to die for a good thing. What I did, I will never regret it because I have tried to help people."
What compounds the heartache is hearing Wilson explain how they almost had him out, thought it was the real deal and were even celebrating. But then 30 minutes later Carl called her back because they were saying they couldn’t take him.
This is the tragedy that Joe Biden and his military leadership created. This is the heartache. Not to mention 13 service members who died yesterday, along with scores and scores of others. We certainly don’t want to forget about their sacrifice.
Carl was there when that bomb went off and he tried taking a young girl to the hospital, but says she died in his arms right as he got there.
I’m sure there are many ‘Carls’ in Afghanistan who are getting left behind because Biden is too cowardly to stand up to the Taliban. We have the muscle. We have the men willing to do it. We just don’t have a president with any courage whatsoever.
