LOS ANGELES (AP) — After three military combat tours in war-torn Iraq, Chase Millsap returned home to get on with a civilian life. But there was one thing he couldn't do: leave a comrade behind, certainly not one who had saved his life. Especially not the former Iraqi military officer who had worked with the Americans and was now living a precarious existence as a refugee dodging Islamic State militants seeking to kill him. For the past two years, Millsap has been fighting a different kind of battle, one to gain asylum for the brother in arms he simply calls The Captain.  "If I go back, I'm sure I die," the 37-old Muslim and married father of two said recently during an interview over Skype. He agreed to speak, but, fearing for his safety, only wanted to be identified by his former rank. As he spoke, his 3-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son played in the family's living room.

| I hope Anti-Islamists will not make his life miserable in Murica. You know, Trumple him just because he's Muslim... |

| I think that would be a good qualification for citizenship. |

| Rofl . . . Implying people who risk their necks for the good of America are actually rewarded for it. You know that during the Iraq war we used iraqi civilians as translators right? Promising them citizenship in return for their aid . . . Yeah what we forgot to mention was that this would be given to them after getting hundreds of forms filled out over the span of 3-5 years. If they were able to make it to the US, they were lucky, if they never had the ear of their decapitated family sent to them, they were even luckier. One of the reasons our knowledge of what is going on on the ground in most Middle Eastern countries is so shitty is because the locals know that their is absolutely no benefit in helping us. We reward them by grabbing some white and red paint, painting a target on their forehead, and let our "enemies" do the rest. |

| I say vet him and let him in. A good soul shouldn't waste away in Iraq. |
