Why does this not have millions of views! I hate how we can have such polar opposite life experiences all at the same time. Life is about our human connections, not about what we look like, who we know, or what we have in the bank. Bless these men, bless them for their sacrifice, bless them for their bravery, bless their souls. We ALL owe them our lives and total respect. Shame on us for turning a blind eye to the suffering of our fellow humans on the other side of the world.

Yup first thing that came to mind! I saw the trailer the other day that’s the one with Jake gyllenhal right? It’s literally like their story I wonder if they took these guys real life story and made it to a movie and then ofc added the Hollywood crap on top of it so they can’t be hit with copyright etc

It's pretty shitty that America promised Rom(sorry if misspelled his name, the interpreter) freedom & citizenship if he successfully helps, and completes his interpreter duties to help the United States & our troops....Which he did. Yet left Rom out to dry, and didn't keep there word. Our government & politicians are so fucked in this beautiful country. Just sad. What an amazing story! God bless all of you. 👍

Cpl Ervin… “Granny Smith Apples”. For those of you that don’t know he is the creator of Momma Dog and did some work for Nat Geo on a documentary about the war in Afghanistan. From one of your former boots in 2/9 E 1/1 I wish you well

Thank you for sharing this real life story Jon, Travis & Rom. Those of us born in America take it for granted and we tend to forget that their/our ancestors went thru the exact samethings as Roms family and judge people for being different or non-American. But THATS EXACTLY WHAT AMERICANS ARE -- a massive melting pot of different ethnicities/mixed bloodlines. THAT is what makes this country great; even tho sometimes we Americans tend to forget that. Americans are no different or better. Technically -- we are just lucky our ancestors made the call they made to do whatever they had to do to want/create a better life. We (2024 Americans) benefit from our ancestors decisions/struggles/fights. Americans are nothing more than a melting pot of ancestors that wanted more for themselves and their families. I wish more Americans could truly grasp that concept. It's not ur ethnicity that determines your value to be good or bad. It's your heart and your treatment of your fellow human -- no matter what else is going on around you. It's a choice -- pure and simple. Welcome to American Rom & family. Your fight has JUST BEGUN tho. We struggle in this country as well -- it's just a different kind of struggle; BUT here you'll get the opportunity to create as much success for your family as you struggle to achieve. It won't be easy. It's not easy for those of us born here. It will be harder for the first generation of ur family line. Your sacrifices and hardships are for ur children & grandchildren. YOU fought to give them this opportunity; they will never truly understand what you went thru. But isn't that what you wanted for them - to never know your hardships. Understand that as they grow up in this overly entitled country - IT IS OK to not have them struggle as you did or to EVER know that feeling. They will be different than you and please be open to letting them also teach you. Isn't that truly all any of us want and deserve? The chance to prove ourselves? Travis & partners - simply -- just Thank You for helping this family. Earth Angels are everywhere n we often don't want recognition. We do what we do fr our heart space and bcus simply -- it's just the right thing to do. Jon - Thank you for the great content. We'll done dude! ❤❤❤

Jon, you are a good person, and I personally admire what you have done on this show, but your voice reaches millions of people, and I think it would be just if you get a Palestinian or an Arab and have a conversation with them about Palestine🇵🇸 and the truth of what's happening there and that has been going on for decades, that's all I am asking of you Jon, to spread the truth... Free Palestine🇵🇸

As an Afghan i would say that the American soldier Travis in this video is worthy of all the respect as he fought for his country,but the interpreter is worthy of nothing even a dog deserves more respect than this interpreter for selling his country.

I understand him wanting to help him and being so about getting g him and his family a home this and that but there are people right here IN AMERICA that are struggling that deserve a home too a real man makes sure his home is safe and secure and taken care of before inviting others and putting others above your locals and your own country and community.

Guaranteed this guy did more for America’s interests than a lot of those homeless people you’re talking about who most likely did something wrong to end up homeless in the first place. Those people still have homeless shelters they can go to or pitch a tent, these refugees only had the other option of living in hiding under the threat of death.
