Special Episode: Afghanistan - One Year On

<p>This week marks one year since the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan following its two-decade commitment to fighting terrorism in the country.&nbsp;One year on, we have a country ruled by the Taliban, thousands of Americans and allies stranded within its borders, and a rapidly deteriorating economic, humanitarian and regional security situation on the ground.&nbsp;How many American people and allies are still left in Taliban-governed Afghanistan? What does the future of U.S. commitment look like in the country? How has our withdrawal impacted the U.S. role in the world and its order?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Today’s episode will feature France Hoang to help answer and reflect on these questions. France is the Chairman of the Board of Allied Airlift 21 and co-founder of&nbsp;the Afghanistan Departure Group (ADG). Both of these organizations were instrumental in assisting with the evacuation of Americans and our allies out of Afghanistan.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Want to learn more about Allied Airlift 21 and how you can help?
