of us. when our 13 soldiers were killed, i was very angry, like so many. i banged on my piano. it didn t take shape, the song, until i got a call from a friend after our troops had left. she said i need to contact because i am organizing evacs for amcits. you re going to rescue americans we left behind. there was silence on the line. i couldn t believe we were living in that world. finally when the president gave his extraordinary success speech, i was hoping general milley and general austin would come out give us some clarity on it because i know that they knew that was not the case. they echoed the same. what a great airlift line, and narrative to distract from their failures. that scared me. i wrote those lines in the song
