In a dingy apartment complex near Clarkston lives an Afghan family -- a mom, dad and three young children who all would probably be dead had they stayed in Afghanistan.

The father, Gul Agha, is a pleasant, hard-working immigrant juggling jobs and trying to forge a better life, and hopefully soon, a better apartment.

Agha, according to two former American soldiers, is an unassuming hero, a guy who risked it all to help the cause in his homeland.

Guess what the two warriors think of Donald Trump's Muslim solution.
