U.S. Military Building “Eight Small Cities” to House at Least 50,000 Afghan Refugees

Military bases across the United States are welcoming tens of thousands of Afghan refugees, fashioning what amount to “small cities” on-base to address housing, food, medical care, sanitation, and other vital needs.

As of Friday, over 25,000 Afghan evacuees were being housed at eight U.S. bases, Air Force General Glen VanHerck, head of the U.S. Northern Command, told the Associated Press.

At Fort McCoy, the only Army installation in Wisconsin, between 8,000 and 8,800 refugees were on-site at the start of the weekend. A State Department official said that number would increase by Sunday; right now the base has a capacity to host up to 13,000 people. The effort is part of the Department of Defense and U.S. State Department’s efforts to support what has been dubbed Operation Allies Refuge.

“As more and more people arrive, there are people who know each other,” the official told the La Crosse Tribune. “People are finding out who are here and are connecting.”

Somebody PLEASE explain to me how and WHY we owe these people anything?

WE spend the lives of our young men and women to try to help them defeat a medeival enemy called "Islam" that had them enslaved,and couldn't do it because not enough of them wanted to live free.

So,here we are after years of sacrifing the futures of thousands of our young people,bringing Islam into America and providing it with EVERYTHING it needs to flourish here at no cost to them. Not only that,but we are PAYING them for being "gracious enough" to accept defeat and come to America!

Islam IS and will remain the enemy of freedom for as long as it is allowed to exist,and here we are importing it to our homeland.
