In reply to the discussion: Reuters: At least 12 US soldiers KIA at Kabul Airport. [View all]WarGamer
(12,369 posts)31. I don't want to sound like a fear monger or "concern troll"
But I'm terrified what happens if 3 or 20 or 100 Americans wind up in IS-K hands and are seen on Social Media or Al Jazeera suffering... it could set off an enormous rightward movement in this nation.
And sorry for sounding like a fear monger
