Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) recently issued a dire warning about the situation in Afghanistan. In an interview on Wednesday, the Florida congressman said the Taliban is quickly becoming a terrorist super-state and every time he thinks it can\u2019t get any worse, it does.<\/p>\n<p>He said it\u2019s a slap in the face to America that the Taliban announced a new government led by wanted terrorists and former Guantanamo Bay detainees on the same week as 9\/11. Waltz, a veteran himself, also had a message for Gold Star families, veterans and 9\/11 victims, reassuring them their sacrifices were not in vein.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To fellow veterans, Gold Star Families, victims of 9\/11, your sacrifice has not been in vain. Generations of Americans were safer because of your sacrifices.<\/p>\n<p>As 9\/11 approaches, we must demand accountability for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EZllKWFrEp\">pic.twitter.com\/EZllKWFrEp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
