Some of it's actually cool to see. I'm no rigthwingedfag. I'm not some
republican nut job trying to win over the masses. A lot of the people
here actually want us here. Even more NEED help. A lot of people
will "fight the good fight" from behind a computer screen and bash what
they HEAR is going on over here... I understand there's more than just
the motive of helping people out here. I understand as a government,
America uses some shady tactics to get what it wants. But day after day
after day, I see young girls going to school for the first time, women
not afraid to go outside without veils on, I mean this place was SO
oppressed under Taliban rule, it's sick. Did you know Instruments and
music were ILLEGAL under Taliban law? Things like THIS happened all the time? http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2007269,00.html The
things that are going on over here are genuinely good, and will
continue when the main Army presence pulls out. It's something unreal to
see a kid burst into tears over some crayons and a coloring book. Or
when I was talking to a Afghan that was sharing a tower guard shift
with me, He wanted to show me how proud of his knife he was.... It was
old. Beat, rusted, Deff hand me down.... I gave him my CRKT Ti Folder..
The guy cried for a good 5 minutes in joy then sat in the back of the
tower playing with it for a good hour. This guy (even with his sweet on
base job) Has nothing, He told me about his family, and what he was
risking by working with Americans but he knew we were there to help And
with Nothing... He came back the next day with all these rings (albeit
cheap gold) Rings that had been in his family for years and
reffuuussseed to let me leave until I took one in return. The people
here are amazing. With more heart than most of the people you'll meet in
America. /rant Tl;dr Afghan is pretty cool guy, gives ring, eh doesn't afraid of anything He also digs American guns more than AK's
