Curious Afghans came to the roof. Some people – including Afghans – say that Afghans hate the British, but I don’t see that here. Seems like the people here don’t like anyone in particular, including the British, Americans, and the Afghans from other parts of Afghanistan, and the Pakistanis, and the Iranians. But that’s only in some places. In other parts of Afghanistan, we are warmly welcomed. Other Afghans see this as an extension of previous British wars, apparently having missed the point that we were minding our own business on 9/11.
Vivid and sobering.
Michael Yon is a journalist working to a professional standard, and a pretty good photographer, too.
Ironically, he depends on donations while millions of dollars are spent on entertainment as news by empty talking heads.
“the people here don’t like anyone…”
Yes, and considering they are a bunch of moronic, B.O. stinking, goat screwing drug dealing losers who are incapable of forming even the most rudimentry economy or rising above a tribal social system I’d say the feeling is pretty mutual.
A great read. You don’t get articals like this anywhere else.
another waste of blood and treasure a world away.
