On Monday, August 3, find Episode 149 of The Afghanistan Project on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Podcasts, and Apple Podcasts.
This episode is the beginning of a short series where we'll be diving into the withdrawal from Afghanistan, five years later. My first guest is Jon Singleton, a veteran whose work with Task Force Pineapple was instrumental in helping Afghans as their country fell to the Taliban and the U.S. prepared to depart.
We talk about the difficulties of processing this period, and return to the events of five years ago.
