Matt Zeller on the betrayal of our Afghan allies - The Afghanistan Project Podcast Ep. 98
Tomorrow, Ep. 98 of The Afghanistan Project drops with my guest Matt Zeller, who discusses the betrayal of our allies by the Trump administration.
Matt also talks about his own interpreter’s experience on arrival in the U.S., which spurred the creation of nonprofit No One Left Behind.
We chat about Matt’s time in Afghanistan, and his memoir, Watches Without Time, published by Just World Books in 2012, which details his experiences as an embedded combat adviser with Afghan security forces in Ghazni, Afghanistan.
About the guests:
Matt is an Afghan war veteran, the co-founder ofNo One Left Behind, and an adjunct fellow at the American Security Project. He is also a producer of Champions of the Golden Valley, an award-winning documentary that captures the emergence of a homegrown ski culture in the snow-capped mountains of Afghanistan. The film reveals a breathtaking and seldom-seen side of the country — a remote region where joy, resilience, and community are forged on the slopes.
