Haydar in Iraq and who now lives in Georgia. If they want
out, we need to honor our promises and get them out. Mr. Thomas is one of several U.S. military officers who have
written letters to the State Department appealing for Mr. Haydar to get a visa. He said he sympathizes with some of the
views regarding immigration that Mr. Trump campaigned on, but
he added that Iraqis like Mr. Haydar ``were singled out and
shot at for serving the United States and we made a
promise.'' Mr. Thomas said he knew of five Iraqi interpreters
who were killed in the 15 months of his last tour in Iraq,
including 3 who were gunned down in their homes for working
with the U.S. military.
