Amid the chaos of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, a retired Green Beret and a cohort of volunteers asked themselves, “What can I do?” The answer saved 1,000 Afghans from the Taliban.
Lt. Scott Mann, a former Green Beret, was brought back into the world of military operations and life-or-death decision-making when he and other veterans banded together to help get their Afghan friends and colleagues out of Afghanistan before the military withdrew last year as the Taliban rose to power.
