When Kabul fell, retired Army Lt. Colonel and Green Beret Scott Mann received a text from a friend, an Afghan commando named Nezam, about the situation. This commando was someone whom Mann had met during one of his tours in Afghanistan, and he had even been shot through the face while protecting U.S. special forces in combat. Mann wanted to get his friend, who was receiving threats of beheading from the Taliban, out to safety—and from this, Task Force Pineapple was born.

To learn more about this initiative, we sat down for an interview with retired Lt. Colonel Scott Mann. Support Operation Recovery here: https://www.operationrecovery.org/ Watch Lt. …
