Cpl. Wyatt J. Wilson watched the flood of Afghans seeking refuge bottlenecked outside Abbey Gate at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport in the hot, late August 2021 days leading up to the end of America’s longest war.

He and his fellow Marines scanned the perimeter, pushing back those who didn’t clear security, sometimes taking babies handed over barbed wire into the safe zone.


Maj. Benjamin F. Sutphen had been running nonstop starting in March 2021 to put plans ­together, move equipment and people out of Afghanistan as the withdrawal at the end of the month fast approached.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
