As Americans and the rest of the world witness the rapid fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban as the U.S. moves to withdraw, the unfolding situation can be particularly painful for U.S. veterans and Gold Star families."It's a disgrace to this country to depart like this," said retired Army Colonel Dave Brostrom, whose son Jonathan died in combat in Afghanistan in 2008. "This is very disheartening," he said, according to CBS News."You know, my son died trying to protect his fellow soldiers, but for the ultimate cause of stabilizing the country and establishing a good government, yes, it was a sacrifice that was for naught," Brostrom noted when asked whether it felt like his son gave his life for nothing, the outlet reported.
