A former Green Beret has raised nearly $40,000 to help an Afghan interpreter escape the country — as the lives of those who worked with American forces during the 20-year war are increasingly in jeopardy following the withdrawal of US troops.
Greg Adams, who served in Afghanistan with the US Army Special Forces, launched the fundraiser for Moneer, an Afghan civilian, because he did not trust the State Department’s Special Immigrant Visa program.
Moneer worked as his interpreter in 2009 and 2010.
The effort has raised $38,327 as of Tuesday morning since it was started in June.
