I expect they will end up as day labourers or haulage drivers, two occupations Afghans have preferred in the UK and Pakistan respectively.
That alone by itself doesn't bother me that much but we have had an incident at McDill AFB in Tampa,Fl. and now a lockdown at an Army post in New Jersey.
McDill confirmed that weapons were involved and then it fell off the news radar, still looking about New Jersey.
