Commend our armed forces for historic airlift out of Afghanista­n

-

Over the past few weeks, print and other media were tightly focused on the pathos and drama at the Kabul airport as we finally ended our involvemen­t in a 20-year war.

The politician­s and talking heads point fingers and play blame games.

Yet, what unfolded before us was the greatest humanitari­an air evacuation in history. Americans should be proud of this effort.

The men and women of our Air Force and other services made this happen at great risk to themselves. Ohioans were part of the effort.

Let’s not let talking heads and politician­s distract us from what our service members in the air and on the ground did for others and our country in these last few weeks.
