Jack McCain: 我认为，我之所以还活着，是因为阿富汗飞行员和机组人员的努力。美国不仅欠他们一份人情，更欠他们一份荣誉。我们应该撤离所有与美国并肩作战的阿富汗人，并照顾好他们。在混乱的撤离中，许多人被遗留，包括美国军人的家属、飞行员和特种部队。由于缺乏计划，情况变得更加糟糕。现在，成千上万与我们并肩作战的阿富汗人被遗留，他们的家人也可能被用来对付那些已经在美国的人。我认为，阿富汗对任何人都不是安全的，特别是那些曾在美国生活过的人。塔利班会毫不犹豫地将人命当作棋子，进行监禁、折磨、强奸、杀害，甚至卖为奴隶。他们想要报复那些曾与他们作战的阿富汗飞行员。国会忽视阿富汗签证问题是可鄙的行为。解决这个问题是国会的责任，这关乎人道和国家荣誉。我把我的生命交给了阿富汗人，他们不仅值得信任，而且值得我们的关怀。如果对难民的审查存在问题，那就通过立法来解决。国会议员应该履行职责，解决我们自己造成的问题。由于美国的行动，阿富汗人的国家和家庭已经破碎，他们的生活发生了巨大的变化。一些阿富汗人身受重伤，几乎无法工作，但他们无法享受美国退伍军人的待遇。尽管如此，他们决心克服困难，成为伟大的美国人。

Shownotes Transcript

CBS News has learned the State Department intends to shut down the office tasked with helping to resettle the Afghans who fought alongside U.S. servicemembers against the Taliban. Thousands of our Afghan partners are still waiting for their visas, some of whom are in hiding for fear of retribution at the hands of the Taliban. Ahead of that change, Jack McCain, Navy veteran of the War in Afghanistan and son of late Senator John McCain, joined Face the Nation on Memorial Day weekend to honor their service and call on Congress to act.
