Back again...no longer in Afghanistan, though I wish I were. Working out of Kuwait covering Central Asia. Hope to be in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan soon. Probably be working with the Lebanese mil soon too trying to find ways to help them startv to pry the south from Hezbollah. Cool work, but not Afghanistan. A bit of me will always be there. Unfortunately it is probably the best of me. To go back, I'd have to give up everything I have back in the US, but I kind of think Afghanistan has already done that to me. Hard to explain to someone who hasn't been in those mountains, plateaus and valleys. Met a guy here I knew from Shinkay back in 05. Driving from the highway through Suri over the Shirgar pass to Shinkay back then was always tense. The TB sat up in the mountains and watched you for 20 km as you approached the pass.
