How did this POS repay America? By taking the lives of our American troops.

The wife and five kids need to be deported pronto.
The POS who killed our NG soldier will be tried for capital murder and hopefully get the death sentence.
Time to thoroughly vet all those Afghans that Biden brought in unvetted. If they cannot be thoroughly vetted, deport them.
Enough of this nonsense.

He WAS vetted, including by the Trump administration. Where is your evidence of "all those Afghans that Biden brought in unvetted"?

Vetting of Rahmanullah Lakanwal:

Pre-2021: Worked with CIA-backed units in Afghanistan → already known to US intel, no red flags
Aug 2021: Evacuated under Operation Allies Welcome
Sep 8, 2021: Entered US on humanitarian parole after FBI/DHS biometric & biographic screening (cleared)
2021–2023: Continuous FBI monitoring (NCIC/NGI) + full re-vetting in 2021–2022 → still cleared
Dec 2024: Applied for asylum
Apr 23, 2025: Asylum granted after another round of USCIS/FBI checks → no derogatory info found [This occurred under Trump administration].

He passed every layer of vetting, including vetting by the Trump administration.

No vetting in the world can predict who is likely to become a murderer. Not until we have technology that can read minds and know what humans are going to do before they do it.

You are almost to the point where we can finally agree that bringing people here from such a profoundly different culture, selling them a dream, and hoping they will all seemlessly fit right into it is ultimately not the best idea. Google the other Afghan guy who shot at Fairfax County police earlier this year- many of these refugees are absolutely miserable here.

So what do you propose we do with people who have put their lives in danger to work with our troops overseas as was done in the wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam? Do you think that morally speaking America owes them anything at all?

The shooter, as a leader in the CIA-backed Kandahar Strike Force (Unit 03, part of Afghanistan's NDS Zero Units), conducted high-risk counterterrorism operations alongside U.S. and British Special Forces for a decade. These units focused on direct action raids against Taliban and ISIS-K targets in Kandahar province, providing critical intelligence, GPS tracking, and on-the-ground support that minimized U.S. casualties in ambushes and extractions. American combat veterans who collaborated with Zero Units have stated that Afghan partners like Lakanwal "did more to save American troops than 99.9% of the people who are doing the yelling right now," emphasizing their role in life-saving missions during the war. His asylum under Operation Allies Welcome was granted precisely because of this service, which protected U.S. personnel until the 2021 withdrawal left him targeted by the Taliban.

Enough of this nonsense.

So now in America we punish the spouses and children of killers absent any evidence whatsoever that they had any foreknowledge of the crimes their family member was planning to commit???

These people will be executed by the Taliban if returned to Afghanistan. Are we planning to execute the family members of all shooters in future gun violence incidents in this country? Just immediate family, or how far out will this purge apply - cousins? Grandparents? Aunts and uncles?

You people are sick minded, profoundly.

These people are NOT OUR PROBLEM.

They are when we invade their country and use them to protect American soldiers. They became your problem the minute you voted for Bush.

Now wait just a minute. Bush ran as a peace candidate if you can believe that. He repudiated Clinton's nation building in Kosovo and Somalia. Then people chose the peace candidate in Obama, who invaded Syria and whacked Libya along with overthrowing the Ukrainian government. Rinse repeat.

Americans pretty much always vote for the peace candidate, so its not actually on the voters. Its just some weird coincidence that no matter how people vote, we get war instead.

So now the DC Metro Police will be actively babysitting the NG deployed to DC. That should help a lot with their ability to interdict crime.

And the next time America needs friendlies to assist us in our international adventures?

Promise asylum in exchange for help, then take that asylum away - the word gets around.

But you don’t care about our troops or our intelligence assets around the world. Your concern for Beckstrom and Wolfe is entirely performative so you can screech for the removals and deaths of more brown people, no matter how young and innocent they are. You’re a sick twisted piggy.

Wouldn’t it be nice if orange assolini would send the NG home and give DC the BILLION he robbed from their budget so they could fill all the vacancies in the Metro PD???

Too logical.

I understand why they are here. The problem is that the honeymoon has inevitably worn off, but they can't just leave and go "home". I don't have any good answers. It's a multi decade problem in the making. Maybe striking a deal with another country in the region to take them- if they choose- could be an option.

You realize that the MPD hasn’t stopped hiring for a single second, right?

Oh lovely. That’s enticing: help US soldiers and as a reward we’ll send you to a sh-thole country.

I can tell you’re a marketing genius!

Exactly, Trump killed them by creating and inflaming the circumstances. Jesus, even some maga can probably see this.

Again, asylum approval was granted by the Trump administration

Is this supposed to be some sort of gotcha? The people approving these are career officers navigating policies set forth by multiple administrations.

So how is it Biden’s fault?

Have to make sure another CIA funded shooter doesn't kill another guardsman from a red state. So Metro Police will be guarding the National Guard.
