Seems like the Brits are as big of shits as the US.
Interpreters 'abandoned' in Iraq
Iraqi interpreter - perhaps one of the most dangerous jobs in the world
Iraqi interpreters who have risked their lives to help UK forces will not get asylum, a report has claimed.
Whitehall officials ignored appeals by high-ranking army officers for asylum to be given to 91 interpreters and their families, according to the Times.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says interpreters are marked men who "face a horrific death".
The MoD says it considers requests for help from serving or ex-employees on their "individual merits".
However, the Times reported that one appeal for asylum was rejected even though it was accompanied by a glowing recommendation from a British commanding officer.
I may just be a crazy woman from Indiana, but doesn't that re-enforce the meme of us just "using" them with no regard to the Iraqis as human beings?
Yep, the 3% of the Iraqis that actually like us, we'll abandon them to death and destruction. Winning hearts and minds the Coalition way.
