to go to afghanistan and rescue my family. they got a warning from the taliban that, your son and your brother who worked with the u.s. army, he was a traitor. so for that reason, i came to afghanistan to rescue them, and i went to the gate, the nds gate and also the airport gate. but my way was blocked, and they basically kept us away with a lot of tear gas and smoke grenades. and even one of the soldiers told me go away. otherwise, i m going to shoot you on the head. and i showed him my passport, and i told him i m a u.s. citizen and i have the priority to get out of afghanistan. he said, i don t care, your passport is worthless right here. let me ask you because i think people are wondering, why did you go back? could you have done something to help facilitate it while you were still here in the united
