Secondly, your cousins in Afghanistan probably would appreciate my advice. I mean, strict operational advice. If you want some to pass on, contact me in PMs. Remember you can filter it, so no political issues will filter through, they are not members of the backrrom but you are. This post is about backrrom policy, not warfare in afghanistan.
BUT again, if you want to filter some advice, I can send a PM about where to get new boots that is way better at keeping sand away (and brand so they can order of internet), and also where you can get the very best socks. I could also give some advice about how to dress properly in Afghanistan, as the US standard uniform is either cold/warm weather, whereas nights there can be utterly cold and days very very warm. Then some other advice. Again, been there done that, offer you to be abel to filter some to them, stuff I KNOW is not US protocol. Why? Cause you are a fellow orgah, I am sure these people mean something for you.
And I do prefer having fellow orghas cousins being more comfortable even in a war where I do not care who die and not.
Get my point?
My father was captain in the soviet red army, mountain ranger, served in tceckoslovakia (sp?)...
My grandfather was AUSTRIAN... In the WWII he was to busy to blow up Hitlers trains in the resistance movement to care much about nationalistic interests...
You know, my grandfather was oen of them who went against his own country to do what is RIGHT, based on an INFORMED descission... I am sure your grandfathers did the same... They didnt care about nationalistic propaganda but based their own oppinion... right?
Sorry for the loss of your friends, where were they stationed?
Respect to you though, for having the guts to, even with friends dead there, master teh guts to go to (possibly if you qualify) Afghanistan to FINALLY capture Usama Bin Laden and once and for all stop terrorism...
