From the outside, it would be nice to grant citizenship for those that worked for the US, UK, etc in Afghanistan. Both as a thank you, but also as without the military backing them these guys will be exposed to ‘retribution’.

I think there was a political reason to leave them behind - that they have spent the last 20 years ‘levelling up’ Afghanistan, so ‘if they did their job right’ they would be safe. Furthermore there is a lot of push against ‘brown’ immigration, at least in the UK.

I think there was also a security reason to leave them behind - translators etc could easily turn into double agents / recruitment / sleeper cells for the tally if they were attempted to be assimilated into the Anglosphere nations which were in Afghanistan.

There are afghan people who worked with usa in afghan who absolutely love America.

Legal immigrants from afghan can personally speak about quality of life and the freedom they now enjoy. They want the same for their families.
