So when you go to war, you engage with local population but no professional interpreter would be supplied by the DOD to support a combat operation except if the troops have their own enlisted local language speakers. For that very reason, troops recruit interpreters from local population, not necessarily the professional ones but those who can interpret basic communications between the troops and the locals. Those interpreters risk their lives hence they are supposed to be evacuated in case of extreme danger.
@@MaidensWorldOfWax Who are you to make assumptions?why don’t these people stay and fight for their freedom like we’ve done many many times they always run and look for handouts.Theirs currently a resistance group in Afghanistan who are carrying on the struggle against the taliban I respect them much more than these cowards.
I really appreciate this. I met an Afghan translator (worked as soldier as well for the US) through work a few years ago and he told me some of the things he's been through and it's pretty crazy for us to imagine. He's really happy living here with his family and appreiates everything. I'm glad people are out to help others that are in their situation.
I can’t even imagine the amount of anxiety these people have 🥺 it just breaks my heart for these people. 90 days probably goes by so fast. But I’m thankful there’s anyone helping them.. I wanna be able to help.
Reach out to local posts there’s ton of staff like the one in the video that need help for hosts or people to provide basic supply’s or picking up refugees from the airport or if you don’t have time even donate will be a lot of help
I applaud that he's saving money already, but also that he's honest with the worker about where any funds given to him will go. Most people would have pocketed it and then kept mum about it
Yeah pizza making ain’t easy. I just made one helluva pie myself and nearly burnt my finger off. Luckily I had some frozen trader joe’s dinners in the freeze to ease my pain and suffering. Life here is TOUGH.
Thing is a lot of people who make such comments are comparing it to mostly homogeneous & smaller European nation states. Countries where immigrants typically aren't able to successfully integrate en masse, and which also have some of their own issues. But regardless, compared to the third world, America (and Canada) are really like golden tickets. It might suck to have to work & hustle a lot, but there's actual opportunity. And immigrants who come from places where there can be just as much if not more labor but no opportunity, they tend to really make the most out of cases where they can grow to a much larger extent than native born citizens. Guarantee you this kid's son is gonna outperform the average classmate he goes to school with because of the grind personality of immigrant parents, and the interpreter himself will prob enter the middle class in a decade.
@@danieledelstein9129 you've never really lived in Europe or visited it much huh or otherwise left the white American bubble and taught mindset? The amount of immigrants USA takes per capita is actually very low compared to many other countries, and that American ignorant myth of European countries all being small and homogenous (and small size somehow making it easier) is so absurd. Greetings from an European immigrant that actually has lived in 4 countries around Europe and visited over 30 worldwide. Also USA having equal opportunity is a joke when comparing to other western countries, good job trying to further romanticize the non-existent American dream and pretend refugees/immigrants have the same chances in USA as a white person born there. And no, one kid getting a scholarship every now and then doesn't make up for the socioeconomic inequality.
1:14 interesting how neighbouring countries won't accept Afghan "refugees" while the majority of the countries that are accepting them had nothing to do with the conflict in first place.
What? Just look up where the vast majority of Afghan refugees live. And by the way why should neighboring countries accept Afghan refugees when those neighboring countries didn't go into Afghanistan pretendin g to "help" these people. The countries that participated in the coalition have a responsibility to take these Afghans since they're the ones who made promises. Still, Pakistan and Iran are ones ACTUALLY burdened by this mass of people so stop feeling yourself to be so overwhelmed.
@@goldeneagle3088 do you actually know who are those neighbouring countries ¿¿ All of them are struggling themselves. They aren’t superpowers and rich like western countries. You had moral obligation cz those afghans helped your troops. Also learn about local geo politics before commenting on something from thousands of miles away. All the neighbouring countries will suffer the most cz Biden fkd up. Taliban, ISIS isn’t harmful to you but the threat over neighbouring countries is immense.
Find a local refugee resettlement organization and volunteer or donate to them. The city I live in is only 50k population, but we have a local refugee organization.
Living in your car is hard, I know. But fleeing all that you know, probably never to return because you will likely be tortured, raped then murdered shouldn't be comparable. Even to you.
You were born in America with all the opportunities at your feet, these people come from places that don’t have any opportunities, not even basic needs are met and face incredible violence and inequality. Stop moaning and get a job.
As much as he loves his country he knows resettlement in US is the best and only option for him. Being a translator who worked for US forces his life is definitely in danger. Hopefully his wife and son will find living here comfortable. Grateful towards the folks who are helping out.
Good question, I wish folks would realize that this isn’t mutually exclusive. What we’re doing and need to continue doing for Afghan translators and refugees, we could and in my opinion, should be doing for homeless people as well. Places like Salt Lake City, Utah, that have housed the homeless and provided access to mental health treatment, job search counseling, and the opportunity to enroll (not a mandate to do so) have had success and have actually saved taxpayer dollars because the amount of money they spent on those programs was still cheaper than the cost of the ER. It’s not inherently true that this same exact model would work everywhere, but it’s probably something we should look into and see whether it can be optimized for the situation in other cities across the US.
Being homeless in America isn't even comparable to what the Afgan refugees are facing. Even given a place to live and cash for basic needs, leaving all that you know and many that won't be as fortunate is terribly difficult. Many will suffer additional traumas at the hands a unwelcoming & chit-talking Americans. Have a heart ppl.
Damn I wish they could others up with a house and a phone and and and....Holy cow...and then she said she was going to give him cash, I was like wtf. Lol but he risked his life, in a warzone, with no weapon, for 4 years. He's earned it.
As an American you're already entitled to unemployment, food stamps and whatnot. This guy risked his life to help Americans. He's earned getting a temporary house and a minimum wage job and assistance for 90 days.
Because a lot of homeless people are not willing to work. These refugees want to work and change their lives for the better. These poor people just came back from hell. Homeless people here in America got it much better than in Afghanistan lol
@@petergoldvain also I think people forget these are often skilled people. Just because they come from a war zone doesn’t mean they aren’t doctors, engineers etc. Many homeless people are unable to work due to serious psychiatric issues/drug & alcohol issues
@@petergoldvain I live in the uk and many of my friends who come from war zones are training to be doctors to go back and help their countries. People (particularly Americans) seem to think that people from war zones are idiots and that they have always lived in bombed out buildings, when many of these locations were once thriving cities with universities, research centres, factories, markets etc.
Down the street in skid row veterans and natural born Americans are homeless, tens of millions are close to losing their homes and you give these people nicer homes then the hardest working member of the American middle class could ever afford

Two questions , are these people vetted and who is paying for their luxury and paid for life??? So many Americans evicted and lost businesses homes and families de to government overreach
You can go ahead and help as many homeless people as you’d like too. That’s like criticizing someone for donating money to an animal shelter instead of a cancer fundraiser. They are allowed to help whomever they wish and both don’t exclude each other
I see your point. Just sharing my frustration in the wrong place. It is so hard to be homeless working and trying to find a place that will actually accept, especially when a lot of low income places are already taken up by refugees. Most apartments would rather take a government check than someone working there ass off to pay rent for their family. Most shelters are so run down and to dangerous to stay in. There are so few organization that actually get to help. And if you love and care about a dog or cat forget about it, no job, no shelter, no home.
not sure about America but in immigration in Europe - you cannot have a translator if this is your family. So maybe for his wife? She doesnt speak English
There are vacant Towns in the Canadian Prairies that the Canadian Government should purchase and fix up to house refugees here. And if the refugees are from a desert area, they'll be right at home in the prairies where it's either .. desert in the South or flat farm fields with zero trees for hundreds of miles in every direction. If you see a tree ... someone planted it. It's so flat, you can watch your dog run away for 3 days ! :)
That's hilarious. Watch your dog run away for 3 days. My dad has never traveled and keeps saying it's his dream of all places....to drive through the prairies....Saskatchewan..lol
@@cookiesnruntz I've done that. I'm about to do it again pretty soon. One of the weirdest things was how much Saskatchewan radio loves that song Paralyzer by Finger Eleven. I'd hear it being played every 10 minutes, turn the station, there it is again, turn that station wait a few minutes, there it is again. And this was a decade after the song came out. I must have heard it 15 times before I just turned the radio off.
It's the industrial war machine. Contractors and weapons manufacturers made trillions of dollars, people got incredibly wealthy from the war. It will happen again, and those in power will get richer. Rinse and repeat...the great American war machine.
😕☝The British people have been sold out by globalist politicians. This whole Afghan crisis has been stage managed & allowed to happen to create a pretext for more immigration. Orwellian style "Order out of chaos". We don't want or need them. Simple! Re-housing them as well. Nice that the feudal Tories asked us before committing themselves to their pledge! There's plenty of our own who are homeless, living in fear & penniless! But there's no glory in them helping their own. This is just a political empty gesture to vitue signal to the rest of the world. Bringing these people over will only inflame tensions, create conflicts & risk public safety. Furthermore, the difference in cultures, customs & values is vast. They won't adapt to us, but we'll be expected to adapt & accommodate them. If we don't we get labelled as Racists! Finally, they hold nothing but contempt for our western culture & our democratic way of life. They are taught that Sharia law is the only way to live.
I get what you are saying that your country has its own people who needs shelter I'm a Bangladeshi and my country has a larger population then Russia not just that it's a small little country and we had to let people in from mayanmar who were literally being killed and just didn't want to die that's the thing they are asking for help so that they don't have to die not for living. Also Muslim's have a bad reputation for some extreme believers but in reality they suffer a lot. Our country is actually low on so many decent supplies but if you ask people who live there specially homeless people they are gonna agree on letting people in cause at least they have their own country .
@@jouaienttoi I get that part of it but homeless vets shouldn’t be a thing. The government itself needs to redirect its resources to help the people that have sacrificed the most on behalf of our country. It’s though because those translators fought alongside those guys.
@@Favouredmojoe A lot of homeless vets actually turn down help. I know people who go into the homeless camps in Portland to offer anything from a meal to housing but no one takes the offer to get off the streets. Our local homeless program takes in far more families in transitional situations than people who are chronically unsheltered.
Every day is a opportunity for them to show up. If they were homeless in Somalia I would feel bad. But local nah you have every chance and you let ur self down.

They are better off in smaller midwestern states, that could not only accommodate them due to population loss, but will have a better quality of life. Grow up.

you say that like the US would actually help the homeless if it didnt accept some refugees lol. The reality is the US doesn't care about poor people or homeless people. If it did it would spend more on robust social safety nets like public housing and welfare that stops people falling through the cracks. And even if it did care, you can chew gum and walk at the same time. Don't be outraged the US is resettling some refugees, be outraged that the US spent 2 trillion usd to invade and occupy a foreign country
This is very interesting. Amongst these refugees there will probably be more Afghan military and their families than "translators" as has happened in the past with cases like Vietnam, Nicaragua, etc. and they will eventually encounter people in their new communities that were on the other side or have been affected by them home. Without the the former benefits of being American allies and now being desperate refugees they could be in for a nightmare.
@Ibrahim Suleman Hollywood portrays the U.S. as this amazing promiseland where anything is possible. It depends on what your dream is. For some it may be just working a minimum wage job with the freedom of knowing your not going to be bombed one night among other things.
Watching Americans finally work this out has been a long time coming. Your government is awful. It has access to some of the biggest amounts of tax income in the world and yet doesn’t provide you with homes, healthcare or education with that money.
@A B I Googled them, and nothing on Afganistan. They've talked about voting rights but can't find an article about them talking about Afghanistan. Not surprising since they're huge hypocrites. Specially AOC, wouldn't shut up about the "ICE concentration camps" as she called them under the Trump administration. I think she talked about them once under Biden, and deflected lol.
I do understand their issue and the problems ailing them, but as someone who came here on a student visa , spent a huge chunk of our money on education and then working as engineers in premium companies here, I hate the fact that these folks are given precedence over us when it comes to green card and citizenship, whilst we have to go through the odds of a long, tedious process to get one.
They risked their lives for US troops so how about you stop fucking complaining and just be happy we haven’t completely abandoned our allies to die horrific deaths
Have they not worked hard enough to not be left to be slaughtered?! The accommodation shown is temporary and they are helping them get jobs because they are willing to work hard for their keep (and have already for many years)- which is more then can be said for a lot of Americans

@@garyturai1012 Noah is right, and your comment contributes nothing to this. The video is about a woman in LA who is trying to help an Afghan family resettle after the US gov't promised to protect them. It has nothing to do with CA's homeless crisis. Nobody disputes that that more needs to be done to help the homeless, but this video is not about that particular issue. Furthermore, your writing is practically incoherent, and you come across as a child. Perhaps you could scroll through the comments to see how adults here have responded to the video.
I'm sure they were paid several times the regular afghan made. My brother in law worked for the americans and he managed to build a decent house with that salary.
All the people complaining that we still have homeless people and should rather spend our resources on them are also people that often tell the homeless thats it’s their fault and clinch their wallets when ever they walk by one. Helping people that we endangered by creating a manufactured conflict is the right thing to do. Solving the homelessness problem is the right thing to do. The amount of money we will spend on the next political war would be enough to solve both. Make sure you are protesting in front of the White House next time they sucker you into another war. Remember 90% of Americans were in favor of this war in the very beginning. They lied to you. They profited from it. And now you are angry at the wrong people. Also as a former war refugees, I can tell you this help is temporary ( few to several months) and they are on their own battling the same systems and unbalanced wealth distribution you and I encounter in the daily basis.
@Ralph Lamy there are more people in need than these well fed people . These people they had the best wages there... they lived a life for 20years and this is just an excuse to get in to the states... I have seen them with my eyes the all wear branded clothes or the keep them in their bags and they show their selfs just houers after landin... They had iphone 12 max pro!

Welcome to America! I appreciate what you’ve sacrificed for our troops at your home. Respect to you already, by knowing that you’re in a bad situation. Save and create a better life for your family and yourself.
Looks like an upscale neighborhood but we can't house homeless citizens. So many vacant properties not to mention landlords who will be loosing their homes
Homeless people do get help, but most have issues with addiction or mental health. These Afghan refugees are competent adults, and once on their feet will be self sustaining. I’m not saying we can’t do more for the homeless, but it’s a totally different challenge.
That is temporary housing. I volunteered for refugee resettlement and they usually had to find their own place in 90 days. That is the nicest temp house I have seen but maybe they have better funding than other agencies. Refugees usually have to pay the government the cost of airfare too. So families are in and out of those places like revolving door as they move on to the next step in their resettlement process. They start working pretty much immediately so they can pay for their own apartments and payback the government for the transportation costs. If they meet the criteria for like other Americans make below a certain amount they do qualify for programs like TANF and WIC and again those things are temporary. Depending on the city there are programs for the homeless to also provide housing but it comes with requirements like working, no drinking or drugs, must take prescribed medications for mental illness etc which is why a lot of people don’t take that opportunity and classified as chronically homeless as opposed to situationally homeless. Some city have been doing house first initiatives that give housing no restrictions apply ( allowing substance abuse etc) because they feel by providing this need will eventually get them on the path of improving their life and getting out of homelessness. More homeless have taken part of this program but more time is needed to see if housing the person first with out conditions actually leads them to other choices that help them out of homelessness.
With all due respect to our afghan brothers and sisters, but leaving your country is not the right way to defend your mother land. When Iraq attacked Iran in 1980, with the help of many Western and regional countries, Iranians stayed put and defended the country, so many people were killed, young and old, but at least the country did not get taken over by other countries or forces. People of a country should defend it by all means. I hope God helps everyone.
No one should be forced into nationalism. If they don't like their country they should be able to leave. As anyone anywhere else can relocate. US gets invaded tomorrow, I'm not sticking around.
@@adamelhawari1391 many civilians in Iran were killed in air strikes, but did not leave their country. They either participated in the war, boys as young as 12-13 to old men. Others would provide support for the ones on the battle field by preparing their clothing, food, moral support, etc. This is how a country can defend the land, not by leaving the country and handing it to the enemies. Look iran-iraq war, and the sacrifices people made to defend Iran in an unjust war where many countries were providing Iraq with all the equipments and weaponry they could use against Iran. So many civilians were killed in that war. So many people, without proper army training, had to join in to fight against the enemy, they were not even soldiers, they were civilians, innocent people.
@Sakai I'm not being mean or insensitive, but I think they should defend their country if they respect their mother land and their ancestors. Imagine if all the Afghans left their country only to protect their own lives, there would be no Afghanistan in the future. I wish them all the best of luck wherever they are. I wish for a peaceful world.
How are they capable of housing refugees and not the homeless? But makes sense for refugees that worked/helped the US army. Translators save and saved lives:)
Many homeless folks don't want help, they're in a position where they can't receive help, and/or politics and politicians won't allow any help to happen. This is the madness of living in the United States. We've set up a system that works and doesn't work at the same time.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate those people at all, but there are a lot of homeless people. Too many forgotten veterans living on the streets with no shelter, no dignity. A lot of poor people as well, they're barely getting by. IMO They should have the priority to live a decent life. The US should take care of its own FIRST. I'll always see them as unwanted and freeloaders because it was unnecessary to take them in, sorry.
There are many parts of America that hates immigrants. But I also know that America is full of people with open hearts and open minds who will do what they can to help those in need. That's the America that I like to remember.

So when you go to war, you engage with local population but no professional interpreter would be supplied by the DOD to support a combat operation except if the troops have their own enlisted local language speakers. For that very reason, troops recruit interpreters from local population, not necessarily the professional ones but those who can interpret basic communications between the troops and the locals.

I met an Afghan translator (worked as soldier as well for the US) through work a few years ago and he told me some of the things he's been through and it's pretty crazy for us to imagine. He's really happy living here with his family and appreiates everything. I'm glad people are out to help others that are in their situation.
I can’t even imagine the amount of anxiety these people have 🥺 it just breaks my heart for these people. 90 days probably goes by so fast. But I’m thankful there’s anyone helping them.. I wanna be able to help.
Reach out to local posts there’s ton of staff like the one in the video that need help for hosts or people to provide basic supply’s or picking up refugees from the airport or if you don’t have time even donate will be a lot of help
I applaud that he's saving money already, but also that he's honest with the worker about where any funds given to him will go. Most people would have pocketed it and then kept mum about it
The fact that we get free documentaries on RUclips by VICE News is truly a gift 👍
Life in America is not easy as people assume in other countries. You have to work a lot to survive buddy. Good luck.
Yeah pizza making ain’t easy. I just made one helluva pie myself and nearly burnt my finger off. Luckily I had some frozen trader joe’s dinners in the freeze to ease my pain and suffering. Life here is TOUGH.
No its not. Its easier here than in most places. Folks here just love to complain
@@htxsupercrewon22s are you saying this based on your experiences outside of the US??? I have been to many places. We are a workaholic country.
Thing is a lot of people who make such comments are comparing it to mostly homogeneous & smaller European nation states. Countries where immigrants typically aren't able to successfully integrate en masse, and which also have some of their own issues. But regardless, compared to the third world, America (and Canada) are really like golden tickets. It might suck to have to work & hustle a lot, but there's actual opportunity. And immigrants who come from places where there can be just as much if not more labor but no opportunity, they tend to really make the most out of cases where they can grow to a much larger extent than native born citizens. Guarantee you this kid's son is gonna outperform the average classmate he goes to school with because of the grind personality of immigrant parents, and the interpreter himself will prob enter the middle class in a decade.
@@danieledelstein9129 you've never really lived in Europe or visited it much huh or otherwise left the white American bubble and taught mindset? The amount of immigrants USA takes per capita is actually very low compared to many other countries, and that American ignorant myth of European countries all being small and homogenous (and small size somehow making it easier) is so absurd. Greetings from an European immigrant that actually has lived in 4 countries around Europe and visited over 30 worldwide. Also USA having equal opportunity is a joke when comparing to other western countries, good job trying to further romanticize the non-existent American dream and pretend refugees/immigrants have the same chances in USA as a white person born there. And no, one kid getting a scholarship every now and then doesn't make up for the socioeconomic inequality.
1:14 interesting how neighbouring countries won't accept Afghan "refugees" while the majority of the countries that are accepting them had nothing to do with the conflict in first place.
Exactly!!
Even Mexico took in Afghan female's student's
What? Just look up where the vast majority of Afghan refugees live. And by the way why should neighboring countries accept Afghan refugees when those neighboring countries didn't go into Afghanistan pretendin g to "help" these people. The countries that participated in the coalition have a responsibility to take these Afghans since they're the ones who made promises.
Still, Pakistan and Iran are ones ACTUALLY burdened by this mass of people so stop feeling yourself to be so overwhelmed.
That's because most countries don't follow your logic, fortunately.
@@khansahb-o4e I said majority not all
@@goldeneagle3088 do you actually know who are those neighbouring countries ¿¿ All of them are struggling themselves. They aren’t superpowers and rich like western countries. You had moral obligation cz those afghans helped your troops. Also learn about local geo politics before commenting on something from thousands of miles away. All the neighbouring countries will suffer the most cz Biden fkd up. Taliban, ISIS isn’t harmful to you but the threat over neighbouring countries is immense.
My heart breaks for them. Wish I could host a family
What's a major donation site I could give money too to help them?

Find a local refugee resettlement organization and volunteer or donate to them. The city I live in is only 50k population, but we have a local refugee organization.

If only the US govt could take care of the homeless in America like this.....
I work full time, but still am homeless and struggle day to day. Living in my car for 5 plus years now.. where's my help?
The trillions spent on the war, that's were ur help is.
BH 7 maybe you are doing something wrong. I use to live in my car in the Walmart parking lot. Now I own a small house
@@sevnlight6313 how insightful
Living in your car is hard, I know. But fleeing all that you know, probably never to return because you will likely be tortured, raped then murdered shouldn't be comparable. Even to you.
You were born in America with all the opportunities at your feet, these people come from places that don’t have any opportunities, not even basic needs are met and face incredible violence and inequality. Stop moaning and get a job.
As much as he loves his country he knows resettlement in US is the best and only option for him. Being a translator who worked for US forces his life is definitely in danger. Hopefully his wife and son will find living here comfortable. Grateful towards the folks who are helping out.
this isn't a permanent thing. we cannot take in all the strays of the world
Welcome home Abdul 🇺🇸
Watching this made me teary eyed. I hope they can get by and get integrated quickly. I am glad that they are safe now.
Did they drive by all the homeless people on the way to the house?
Prob went straight from airport to the house
Good question, I wish folks would realize that this isn’t mutually exclusive. What we’re doing and need to continue doing for Afghan translators and refugees, we could and in my opinion, should be doing for homeless people as well. Places like Salt Lake City, Utah, that have housed the homeless and provided access to mental health treatment, job search counseling, and the opportunity to enroll (not a mandate to do so) have had success and have actually saved taxpayer dollars because the amount of money they spent on those programs was still cheaper than the cost of the ER. It’s not inherently true that this same exact model would work everywhere, but it’s probably something we should look into and see whether it can be optimized for the situation in other cities across the US.
There are big houses and great stuff for foreigners and/or people who help the regime spread its toxins.
Being homeless in America isn't even comparable to what the Afgan refugees are facing. Even given a place to live and cash for basic needs, leaving all that you know and many that won't be as fortunate is terribly difficult. Many will suffer additional traumas at the hands a unwelcoming & chit-talking Americans.
Have a heart ppl.
Different organizations with different pools of money and resources. Do people not understand this? Helping people isn't a zero sum game.
Damn I wish they could others up with a house and a phone and and and....Holy cow...and then she said she was going to give him cash, I was like wtf. Lol but he risked his life, in a warzone, with no weapon, for 4 years. He's earned it.
As an American you're already entitled to unemployment, food stamps and whatnot. This guy risked his life to help Americans. He's earned getting a temporary house and a minimum wage job and assistance for 90 days.
Why she gotta PS4 in her bathroom cabinet
So why aren't they doing the same things for all the home less people around the country whom are U.S. Citizens.
Because a lot of homeless people are not willing to work. These refugees want to work and change their lives for the better. These poor people just came back from hell. Homeless people here in America got it much better than in Afghanistan lol
@@petergoldvain also I think people forget these are often skilled people. Just because they come from a war zone doesn’t mean they aren’t doctors, engineers etc.
Many homeless people are unable to work due to serious psychiatric issues/drug & alcohol issues
@@Bringon-dw8dx very good point
@@petergoldvain I live in the uk and many of my friends who come from war zones are training to be doctors to go back and help their countries. People (particularly Americans) seem to think that people from war zones are idiots and that they have always lived in bombed out buildings, when many of these locations were once thriving cities with universities, research centres, factories, markets etc.
@@Bringon-dw8dx that’s cause most Americans don’t travel out of the country and are not cultured. I’m one of the few that are

Do you KNOW they're not? The outreach in the area where I live is pretty extensive and they do work hard with that population.

thats the governments job...they havent been able to accomplish that since vietnam, go hold them accountable
@@matthewmark7224 My father was denied his claim by the VA because he was never officially in Vietnam. Just like thousands of vets during that time too. Secondly, officially, he was MIA from 1971 to 1973 when he magically appeared with his unit, 3rd armored, in Germany. His claim has been denied multiple times, even after his death, we're still fighting for some assistance. 11 years after he filed his first disability claim, and 6 years after he passed away, it's the same BS over, and over, and over again with appeals, etc...

You can go ahead and help as many homeless people as you’d like too. That’s like criticizing someone for donating money to an animal shelter instead of a cancer fundraiser. They are allowed to help whomever they wish and both don’t exclude each other
I see your point. Just sharing my frustration in the wrong place. It is so hard to be homeless working and trying to find a place that will actually accept, especially when a lot of low income places are already taken up by refugees. Most apartments would rather take a government check than someone working there ass off to pay rent for their family. Most shelters are so run down and to dangerous to stay in. There are so few organization that actually get to help. And if you love and care about a dog or cat forget about it, no job, no shelter, no home.
Why does a interpreter need an interpreter?
Hes on vacation.
Interpreter for a language other than English.
USA hires the best of the best, what can I say
To help with forms and litigations. You know, legal language that you take for granted.
not sure about America but in immigration in Europe - you cannot have a translator if this is your family. So maybe for his wife? She doesnt speak English
There are vacant Towns in the Canadian Prairies that the Canadian Government should purchase and fix up to house refugees here.
And if the refugees are from a desert area, they'll be right at home in the prairies where it's either .. desert in the South or flat farm fields with zero trees for hundreds of miles in every direction. If you see a tree ... someone planted it.
It's so flat, you can watch your dog run away for 3 days ! :)
Not true they should give them to the ppl that lost there homes jobs from covid sorry but ite true
That's hilarious. Watch your dog run away for 3 days. My dad has never traveled and keeps saying it's his dream of all places....to drive through the prairies....Saskatchewan..lol
@@cookiesnruntz I've done that. I'm about to do it again pretty soon. One of the weirdest things was how much Saskatchewan radio loves that song Paralyzer by Finger Eleven. I'd hear it being played every 10 minutes, turn the station, there it is again, turn that station wait a few minutes, there it is again. And this was a decade after the song came out. I must have heard it 15 times before I just turned the radio off.

Proud you finally see this
Trillions spent in Afghan for what
To empower the taliban
What else
For fun
Because it's fun to spend 💰💰💰
It's the industrial war machine. Contractors and weapons manufacturers made trillions of dollars, people got incredibly wealthy from the war. It will happen again, and those in power will get richer. Rinse and repeat...the great American war machine.
For them to hand over everything we gave them to their enemy. They must have known if they fled we would give them a free apartment.
If you don't know who you'e meeting at the airport and they don't know you, you can bring a sign to identify yourself to the person you're picking up.
Meanwhile, the homeless population in LA gets bigger and bigger.
Why don't you let some of them stay with you then?
@@zandani1463 why don't you practice what you are preaching?
It’s almost the entire country
😕☝The British people have been sold out by globalist politicians. This whole Afghan crisis has been stage managed & allowed to happen to create a pretext for more immigration. Orwellian style "Order out of chaos". We don't want or need them. Simple! Re-housing them as well. Nice that the feudal Tories asked us before committing themselves to their pledge! There's plenty of our own who are homeless, living in fear & penniless! But there's no glory in them helping their own. This is just a political empty gesture to vitue signal to the rest of the world. Bringing these people over will only inflame tensions, create conflicts & risk public safety. Furthermore, the difference in cultures, customs & values is vast. They won't adapt to us, but we'll be expected to adapt & accommodate them. If we don't we get labelled as Racists! Finally, they hold nothing but contempt for our western culture & our democratic way of life. They are taught that Sharia law is the only way to live.
I get what you are saying that your country has its own people who needs shelter I'm a Bangladeshi and my country has a larger population then Russia not just that it's a small little country and we had to let people in from mayanmar who were literally being killed and just didn't want to die that's the thing they are asking for help so that they don't have to die not for living. Also Muslim's have a bad reputation for some extreme believers but in reality they suffer a lot. Our country is actually low on so many decent supplies but if you ask people who live there specially homeless people they are gonna agree on letting people in cause at least they have their own country .
Get those ppl out of here.
Why?
Shut up
I gotta question. Why do they have to have a translator over the phone for an english translator?
WHAT ABOUT THE AMERICAN'S LEFT BEHIND? DO THEY GET NICE HOUSES LIKE THIS ?
Nope dropped off on skid row some where probably
those american went for vacation not for war
You mean the Americans that had literal months of preparedness to leave Afghanistan?
This sucks but what about the 40,000 US homeless veterans
What about them, what about you ? Whatboutism doesn’t solve anything what are your ideas to help? What are you doing to help?
Different organizations with different pools of money and resources. Do people not understand this? Helping those in need isn't a zero sum game.
@@jouaienttoi I get that part of it but homeless vets shouldn’t be a thing. The government itself needs to redirect its resources to help the people that have sacrificed the most on behalf of our country. It’s though because those translators fought alongside those guys.
@@Favouredmojoe A lot of homeless vets actually turn down help. I know people who go into the homeless camps in Portland to offer anything from a meal to housing but no one takes the offer to get off the streets. Our local homeless program takes in far more families in transitional situations than people who are chronically unsheltered.
Send them to Alaska give them a abandoned town and build from that.
Pfft lol you Wildin
Hey pal, did you just blow in from stupid town?
Really bad idea, giving them an abandoned town will just lead to another Afghan town, they won't even be able to assimilate.
And what?? Make Alaska’s first ghetto?
they aren`t native to alaska. the geogrpahy of Afghanistan is similar to south west US.

This is very interesting. Amongst these refugees there will probably be more Afghan military and their families than "translators" as has happened in the past with cases like Vietnam, Nicaragua, etc. and they will eventually encounter people in their new communities that were on the other side or have been affected by them home. Without the the former benefits of being American allies and now being desperate refugees they could be in for a nightmare.
@Ibrahim Suleman Hollywood portrays the U.S. as this amazing promiseland where anything is possible. It depends on what your dream is. For some it may be just working a minimum wage job with the freedom of knowing your not going to be bombed one night among other things.

All the people complaining that we still have homeless people and should rather spend our resources on them are also people that often tell the homeless thats it’s their fault and clinch their wallets when ever they walk by one. Helping people that we endangered by creating a manufactured conflict is the right thing to do. Solving the homelessness problem is the right thing to do. The amount of money we will spend on the next political war would be enough to solve both. Make sure you are protesting in front of the White House next time they sucker you into another war. Remember 90% of Americans were in favor of this war in the very beginning. They lied to you. They profited from it. And now you are angry at the wrong people. Also as a former war refugees, I can tell you this help is temporary ( few to several months) and they are on their own battling the same systems and unbalanced wealth distribution you and I encounter in the daily basis.
The people who do this work are unbelievably selfless.
these are wealthy REFUGEES, their wages are almost equal at US wages ...these are rich people in Afghanistan...

Homeless people do get help, but most have issues with addiction or mental health. These Afghan refugees are competent adults, and once on their feet will be self sustaining. I’m not saying we can’t do more for the homeless, but it’s a totally different challenge.
@@xyzzy4567 so are u saying they will have to leave that house? That they wont get any money at some point?
That is temporary housing. I volunteered for refugee resettlement and they usually had to find their own place in 90 days. That is the nicest temp house I have seen but maybe they have better funding than other agencies. Refugees usually have to pay the government the cost of airfare too. So families are in and out of those places like revolving door as they move on to the next step in their resettlement process. They start working pretty much immediately so they can pay for their own apartments and payback the government for the transportation costs. If they meet the criteria for like other Americans make below a certain amount they do qualify for programs like TANF and WIC and again those things are temporary. Depending on the city there are programs for the homeless to also provide housing but it comes with requirements like working, no drinking or drugs, must take prescribed medications for mental illness etc which is why a lot of people don’t take that opportunity and classified as chronically homeless as opposed to situationally homeless. Some city have been doing house first initiatives that give housing no restrictions apply ( allowing substance abuse etc) because they feel by providing this need will eventually get them on the path of improving their life and getting out of homelessness. More homeless have taken part of this program but more time is needed to see if housing the person first with out conditions actually leads them to other choices that help them out of homelessness.
@@chilliefries424 Thank you for this information!
Le Taliban : thank you American taxpayer
This video gave me chills I hope they are able to find peace and happiness within America .
Why are they using a translator to talk to a translator... he speaks English
It is in case there are some English words or concepts he does not understand.
With all due respect to our afghan brothers and sisters, but leaving your country is not the right way to defend your mother land.
When Iraq attacked Iran in 1980, with the help of many Western and regional countries, Iranians stayed put and defended the country, so many people were killed, young and old, but at least the country did not get taken over by other countries or forces.
People of a country should defend it by all means.
I hope God helps everyone.
No one should be forced into nationalism. If they don't like their country they should be able to leave. As anyone anywhere else can relocate. US gets invaded tomorrow, I'm not sticking around.
These are just civilians???? What are they supposed to do.
@@adamelhawari1391 many civilians in Iran were killed in air strikes, but did not leave their country. They either participated in the war, boys as young as 12-13 to old men. Others would provide support for the ones on the battle field by preparing their clothing, food, moral support, etc. This is how a country can defend the land, not by leaving the country and handing it to the enemies.
Look iran-iraq war, and the sacrifices people made to defend Iran in an unjust war where many countries were providing Iraq with all the equipments and weaponry they could use against Iran.
So many civilians were killed in that war. So many people, without proper army training, had to join in to fight against the enemy, they were not even soldiers, they were civilians, innocent people.
@@aYep000 patriotism is dead then!
@Sakai I'm not being mean or insensitive, but I think they should defend their country if they respect their mother land and their ancestors. Imagine if all the Afghans left their country only to protect their own lives, there would be no Afghanistan in the future.
I wish them all the best of luck wherever they are. I wish for a peaceful world.
How are they capable of housing refugees and not the homeless? But makes sense for refugees that worked/helped the US army. Translators save and saved lives:)
Many homeless folks don't want help, they're in a position where they can't receive help, and/or politics and politicians won't allow any help to happen. This is the madness of living in the United States. We've set up a system that works and doesn't work at the same time.

@@chilliefries424 thank you so much for the informative reply!
Sinc3 we l3ft we don’t n3ed them anymo43
Everything they are getting is temporary. They get 3 months rent, food and utilities paid. After 3 months they have to pay their own rent and bills.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate those people at all, but there are a lot of homeless people. Too many forgotten veterans living on the streets with no shelter, no dignity. A lot of poor people as well, they're barely getting by. IMO They should have the priority to live a decent life. The US should take care of its own FIRST. I'll always see them as unwanted and freeloaders because it was unnecessary to take them in, sorry.
Why did yall delete the texas students back to school video?
Much like this title, they are scrambling to fix their oopsies.
Annnd they just uploaded and removed it yet again, it's hard work rushing out propaganda!
Except most the people who were evacuated were random Afghanis not translators
We should take care of this guy for what he has done for us
🙏 for you, you are now OUR FAMILY🙏🙏
WOW, SUCH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK FOR LIFE FROM THIS YOUNG FAMILY!
There are many parts of America that hates immigrants. But I also know that America is full of people with open hearts and open minds who will do what they can to help those in need. That's the America that I like to remember.
Most people don't care as long as you integrate.
Amen to that!!!!
