Om episode

James Hasson is a former US Army captain, Bronze Star recipient, and author of Kabul. He narrates important yet lesser-known facts about the US war in Afghanistan like the flawed Doha Agreement and the unwise decision to give up Baghra. James shares how mistakes were made, from the abandonment of US citizens to the unkept promises to the Afghan people.    James spoke with soldiers on the ground during the withdrawal. There was utter chaos at the gates, planes were landing and taking off ad hoc, and crowds of people were literally dying trying to escape the Taliban. He talks about how the ranks of the Afghan army melted away and how tragic it was that President Biden ordered them to leave their allies to fend for themselves.    Follow James on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/JamesHasson20   Get your copy of Kabul here: https://amzn.to/3ZEGTz7   Join the SOFREP Book Club here: https://sofrep.com/book-club See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
