What a fascinating peek into reality you painted. I was at countless “GI funeral” processions and I would seeth in anger over the sheer waste of our young troop’s lives. Regarding those dancing-boy gaylords…I recall a few sickening videos way back showcasing that stuff. It matched what I saw there. Regarding those warlords; was at one FOB near Parrot’s Beak where we’d taken over some gaylords compound. He & his band of homeboys would sit down by the gate bemoaning the loss of his mud castle…every day. They never attacked or did much, but slyly paid-off the ANA cretins ON THE BASE with hashish who would stage halfhearted attacks at night INSIDE THE WIRE. Our guy’s Cmdr finally wised-up. The whole thing was an incredible waste of our time & human resources but hey that’s what we do best?
