A former Cultural Support Team and Female Tactical Platoon member reunite on U.S. soil one year after the Afghan woman resettled in America following the Taliban takeover.Edmondson praised the bravery of the Afghan women in their combat roles, but said their ability to adjust so quickly to their new lives in America has been even more impressive.
