The Guy started online classes and got his degree while he was there. I should be going back out to afghan within 5-8 months. Enjoy your time home with your fam man, maybe I'll see you out there in the desert. God bless man.

Before I get anymore questions about a body count, or confirmed kills. Be advised that I have seen men die(local, coalition, and enemy). I have watched the color drain out of their bodies from the feet up, the life leave their eyes, and the the last breath escape their lungs. I have a considerably more profound outlook on how fragile the life of man is(more so then before). So I more than likely will not greet questions with great enthusiasim when asked about death/confirmed kills/body counts.
I will answer questions about the injuries that I have seen and all that I've witnessed. But it wont be with a reality tv type zeal.

There are some who guniuenly want us there, and there are some that want us there because of what we provide(oppurtunists: ie. monetarily and logistically).
It's crazy to think that America actually helped them fight the Russians and now America and its allies are experiencing the same thing. And Russian made RPG-29s are being used on tanks as well. Crazy stuff.

There's no doubt that the troops are helping the country in some respects, but it looks to be unwinnable. It's said that certain people in Afghanistan don't even like Afghans in other parts of the same country - never mind people from outside Afghanistan. It's a messed up place and will probably take generations to change.
