schema:articleBody	The United States said Thursday it will do whatever is necessary to protect Afghans who worked as translators for US forces and now fear for their lives once foreign troops leave Afghanistan. "I can commit to you that it's my belief that the United States government will do what is necessary in order to ensure the safety and protection of those that have been working with us for two decades," General Mark Milley, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a congressional panel. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin voiced a similar message to the Senate Armed Services Committee. "This is very important to us," Austin said. "We're pushing as hard as we can on our end to move as fast as we can." President Joe Biden has ordered a withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan by September 11, the 20th anniversary of the Al-Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington, and the Pentagon said this week that the pullout is more than 50 percent complete. It is the State Department -- and not the Pentagon -- that actually has the final say over who can enter the United States because it is the agency that grants visas. Some 18,000 Afghan interpreters, commandos and others who backed US forces are waiting for decisions on visas to immigrate to the United States, a backlog that lawmakers say could take more than two years to clear. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday that extra personnel were being tasked with looking at visa requests. The Taliban said the same day that Afghans who worked with foreign forces in the past have nothing to fear once international troops leave, as long as they "show remorse." In recent weeks, many interpreters have demonstrated in Kabul, demanding that foreign forces and embassies which they worked with help them relocate. sl/dw-cl/sst
