Hi all.
I'm here in Afghanistan living the life. It's an adventure every day. It's interesting to see a unit try and take over where another unit left off. There's a lot of catching up to do for everyone. It's really a lot of work winning the fight against an insurgency. Any insurgency is difficult to beat. Especially in difficult terrain in a foreign culture. The people here are very different. They live differently, have different values, and express themselves differently. It's even more different living in a Pashtun area. Pashtuns have "Pashtunwali", the Pashtun way of life, which supercedes Islam in some ways. It's very interesting working with these people on a daily basis.
It's been a loooong day today fixing problems. Tomorrow will be another long day. I'll get back soon!
Ben
