Look up how the USA treated the Hmong after they pulled out of Vietnam. This is nothing new unfortunately, I hope the translators and workers made plans to get out on their own because it was virtually guaranteed that they would be abandoned when things got rough. As an American, I find it incredible that they got anyone at all to work with us.

Some of these people were probably desperate enough to get rid of the Taliban, that's how the US made friends. I read a piece about a couple of days ago about a woman leading a group of anti Taliban resistance fighters. Probably a propaganda piece but still.

I'm sure some were but it's clearly not a majority of the population.
