Sinopsis

Who is Chad Robichaux's JSOC interpreter Aziz? During their eight deployments together in Afghanistan, Chad and Aziz saved each other's lives more times than either could count, providing invaluable intel and establishing connections all over the region. But when the Afghan government fell and interpreters began being hunted by the Taliban, suddenly Aziz and Chad had bigger problems. Because it wasn't just getting Aziz out that was the problem - it was getting his family out safely too. And of course, neither could have known at the time that they were building the foundation for Save Our Allies, an organization that's helped thousands of families escape since.----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro01:20 - Merry Christmas from Mike Drop05:00 - How Chad Met Aziz08:00 - Bashir 14:00 - A Firefight Exit16:00 - Buying Russian Weapons20:00 - It's Not 'Corruption', it's 'Business Facilitation'22:00 - Born in Kabul24:30 - Escaping the Taliban29:00 - Living under Mujahideen Rule35:00 - They're Kind of Like Gangs, but Worse41
