Matt Zeller joined the U.S. Army after 9/11. “The idea of not serving at that moment was something I couldn’t fathom,” Zeller says in a new short documentary, premiering on The Atlantic today. Directed by Hunter Johnson and Daniel Klein, Brother is the poignant story of a heroic act that led to a life debt, an indelible friendship, and, ultimately, a fierce fight to rectify a betrayal by the U.S. State Department.

I hope president Trump makes an executive order allowing all of them to come in because they fought and some died trying to keep us safe and informed. I think about the translators that I knew in Iraq and Afghanistan. I will never forget them.

LTC (Join to see) I hope so too Sir! Unfortunately our government as it was pointed out already doesn’t always do “the right thing” and must be publicly shamed to follow through. It used to be where a handshake was a solid promise you could count on, these days however even having a signed document promising something often doesn't mean anything unless it directly benefits the person that made the promise in some way; it’s a sad time we’re living in today.

I don't get the Atlantic, but sounds like it's going to be a great short documentary.
