I’m guessing they weighed their options and somehow thought it was the best option at the time. Maybe their beliefs didn’t align with the Taliban, or they didn’t believe they could leave the area and didn’t want to become 1 of the tens of thousands of civilians that were killed who weren’t combatants. One of them granted asylum, and one being treated like shit, hopefully they’ll get lucky and they’ll just detain him and let him go when some politician realizes it may lose more support from military members.
This. Look at how shitty we treat our soldiers. The Americans you help in the field, the lives you’ll save, they will all appreciate it, but our leaders will go out of their way to fuck you over.
The u.s has a big history of fucking their interpreters. Don’t assist the u.s army.

they are going to need interpreters in this war, and I hope no one in Iran is stupid enough to help Americans.
That seems to be an international trend.
