As the Aug. 31 deadline to leave Afghanistan approaches, the Biden administration is working to withdraw the remaining U.S. military service members as well as evacuate the thousands of Afghans who worked for the U.S. government over the past 20 years.
U.S. Marine Corps veteran Charlie Reeder, who served two tours in Afghanistan, told Yahoo Finance that he hoped the president would extend the deadline to leave the country in order to ensure the safe evacuation of those Afghans.
