I don't know the answer to the overall mess there, but the USA should have, at the very least, offered to take these Afghani patriots and their families away to a safe place of their choosing. But who am I kidding, the USA barely takes care of their own soldiers, and has a history of abandoning the people of foreign countries that no longer hold interest.

There was a program in place to allow (some of) the Afghani helping the US to immigrate. It is just moving a lot slower than the troop withdrawal, leaving them to die.

We did the same damn thing last time when we fought a shadow war there against the soviets. Many historians credit America's abandonment of our Mujahideen allies with the rise of both the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
