American Snippets

After surviving unimaginable horror growing up under Saddam Hussein’s regime, Hamody Jasim (Pronounced Jazeem, emphasis on second syllable) leapt at the opportunity to fight back. At 17 years old he joined the Iraqi Army. At 19, his courage and leadership landed him a promotion, and he became the youngest Command Sergeant Major in the history of the Iraqi military. From there he was recruited by US Intelligence and became one of the most valued US Intelligence Assets in Iraq. His work saved numerous lives, including top American officials, earning him the hatred of the terrorists and an order for his execution, should he be captured. Ultimately he left Iraq and is now a proud citizen of the United States. His story is extraordinary and we are honored to share it with you on this episode of American Snippets.
