恐怖组织塔利班掌控阿富汗后,惊慌的人群奔赴喀布尔机场试图逃离。在混乱中,一段感人的影片今天在网路疯传,内容显示美军陆战队员从高处将包着尿布的婴儿拎过装有刺网的围墙。从影片中可以看到,婴儿的尿布已经滑脱了一半,一名美军单手把孩子拉上围墙,下方挤着一群想要进入机场的阿富汗人。
美国国防部发言人柯比(John Kirby)说,陆战队得知,这名身分不明的婴儿患病,需要救助。他对媒体表示:“家长要求陆战队员照顾婴儿,因为孩子病了。所以那名越墙(拉婴儿)的队员把孩子送到机场内的一所挪威医院。医护人员治疗了孩子,并把孩子送回给父亲。”
柯比表示:“这是因为关怀婴儿所做的同情之举。”
美军陆战队发言人史登哲(Jim Stenger)证实,婴儿接受治疗后已回到父亲身边,两人在机场都平安。美国军方还释出其他一些经官方批准的照片,呈现军人向那些想逃离阿富汗的群众的孩子伸出援手。在其中一张照片中,一名军人穿戴战斗装备,怀里抱着强褓中的婴儿,像个新手父亲一样对婴儿微笑,同袍则站在一旁戒备。另一张照片里也有两名女军人抱着宝宝。
曾赴伊拉克参战的共和党籍联邦众议员梅杰(Peter Meijer)推文表示:“这就是我们必须成为的美国。”
