Just to follow up on our post last night, the infant seen being handed up to a U.S. Marine over the razor wire at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul was taken to a medical facility and is being cared for by medical professionals:
“I can confirm the uniformed service member depicted in the video is a Marine with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. The baby seen in the video was taken to a medical treatment facility on site and cared for by medical professionals.”

ICYMI, here it is again:
The chaos & fear of people is a testament to the international community’s role in AFG’s downfall & their subsequent abandonment of Afghan people. The future for AFG has bn decided for its people without its people’s vote & now they live at the mercy of a terrorist group. #Kabul pic.twitter.com/k4bevc2eHE

And here’s a photo shared by Townhall reporter and U.S. Marine Julio Rosas from a St. Isaiah Campbell of another Marine taking care of an infant at the airport:
