The Gang War in Afghanistan
April 29, 2010
Writes a friend:
A long-time friend is a special forces soldier, stationed in Afghanistan. This is from a conversation I had with him recently:
“It is like the Wild West — no one cares what you do; we are just driving and walking around the desert shooting at dudes on motorcycles and getting shot and blown up by IEDs and RPGs. We are like 50 miles from the next patrol base and no one gives a f*** about what we do here.”
No accountability, that is; they are just driving around, shooting people. They aren’t fighting al Qaeda — they are part of a gang war.
