'They will slaughter us': Afghans who worked with US beg for visas as troop withdrawal looms [View all]
WASHINGTON – In 2019, Omid Mahmoodi was working as a linguist for a U.S. Army brigade in Kabul when he overheard an Afghan soldier badmouthing the American forces.
Mahmoodi quickly alerted an Army sergeant, and the Afghan soldier was expelled from service.
"I have no doubt in my mind that Omid's actions that day saved an American soldier's life," his supervisor, Army Capt. Jonathan Flancher, wrote in a letter supporting Mahmoodi's application for a U.S. visa.
Mahmoodi is now among thousands of Afghans desperately seeking to leave their homeland as the Biden administration withdraws the last 2,500 American troops in the coming months. These Afghans fear that once U.S. forces are gone, the Taliban will sweep back into power and target them as traitors.
