michaelleung: Have you seen Generation Kill? Make him watch it.
Yep, I've seen it, lived it lol....Snafu.... Over There is another one that *can* at times be like Iraq....
Afghanistan is... different though it is a whole other animal... makes Iraq look tame... at least now...
One time my first trip in Afghanistan, I was on a shithawk fobbing (going from one base to another fixing shit) after the helo dropped my ass off at one camp the helo took off again. 15 minutes later it was hit by an rpg the crew died........ really long effing days there...
Iraq, Sure, dangerous but.... at least... at the very least we have some amenities that make it feel more like home
