Losses in Afghanista­n devastatin­g to daughter, mother of Marines

-

“Send more troops in to stabilize Afghanista­n.” Twenty years is enough.

My heart is breaking for the most recent deaths of our brave Marines this week. When the prior administra­tion declared a withdrawal date of May 2021, every Afghan citizen who helped us should have been listed, vetted and extracted. By now, the only people we should be extricatin­g are essential State Department staff.

As the daughter and mother of Marines, I weep for the families and our country’s loss. Semper fidelis.

Susan Mcnally, Columbus
