Wow Bro...interdasting f’real. I flew all over Afghanistan it was truly fascinating & amazing. Still have Pashtu & Dari friends there luckily many got the heck out. These young 20-somethings fought with our SF teams as interps and our gov’t wouldn’t give them green cards. Really good guys too. We left them as known enemies of Taliban. Most went to Sweden.
The guys I’m talking about were badass and worked for SF Teams. No goofs, at all. My best friend in them was named Kareem Abdul Jabar tho...so I can relate to that. No ANF faggs, these were hardcores.
Heck yeah it was. I flew ALL OVER the Eastern part of that country. And yes, the good terps had bounties on their heads BIG TIME. What FOB/Bazaar you referring to? (I mighta been there). Anyway here’s a hilarious Jingle-truck driver’s account of why he smoked so much hash; we let them park overnight on FOB cuz they lived in fear too. I was investigating a rocket attack and smelled hash over by these Jingle-trux so I walked over. This guy was high as a kite & grinning, learned quik he spoke broken English. I sez to him “Dude aren’t you scared driving when the Taliban probably know you deliver stuff to us”? He smiled, pretended like he was smoking while steering all hunched over & says “I keep smoking and think NO TALIBAN, NO TALIBAN” while glancing over his shoulder. Ya had to be there...

Interesting. So many things in this world I never considered.

I’d bet. Lost track of the ones I kept up with...that was 15 years ago.
