A promise was made to Afghans who assisted US troops. They were asked to translate for patrols, guard bases, and stand beside troops during dangerous situations. In exchange for their service, a written promise was given.

The promise stated that the US would not leave these Afghans to be hunted if they served alongside troops. However, it has been acknowledged that this promise is being broken. Further details on this situation can be found in the Waco Tribune-Herald.
