Not. Big Grin Rolled in safely last Friday, one week of turnover and now the shop is mine. So far this week we've had 4 IDFs. Such a warm welcome from the neighbors! Only 15 weeks to go and the official Fighting Season doesn't start til 1June. Whee! I'll be in touch as time allows.

By 1JUN the passes are usually open from snow. I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of a big-assed object here.

Fighting season started early for us in 2011 when bin Laden was killed. Long story short, I was sent by the CDR over to the ANA to "see what's up" that morning. So I'm surrounding by a bunch of ANA who was probably pissed their hero got whacked in Pakistan...

Fighting season is enemy contact pretty much every day.

Yes, but they have wonderful and well secured poppy fields so we can continue to perpetuate our global opioid crisis. Confused

Why we don't have a squadron of crop dusters spraying Roundup over there has boggled my mind since October 2001.

They probably don't want to contaminate the heroin supply. Could cause cancer in a few addicts a few decades down the road. Mad

Godspeed.




"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

Roundup would be too kind. Agent Orange would be best!!!!!!

I loathe the fact we rotate out new teams in the spring/early summer just before the fighting season.

We haven't been in Afghanistan for 17 years.

We've been in Afghanistan 17 times...one year at a time and repeat all of the same mistakes.
