A few years of that and you should be in good financial shape for quite a while.

Burner02 · 11-12-2009, 10:02 PM

Happy Friday!
Just got back from the all clear...we just got bombed again. Ignorant towel-head muther fuqqers. Maybe one last bang before they scamper back across the mountains like the cowards they are.
I'm fine.
Don't know how the troops at the front gate area are. Will get that info later. We'll probably make CNN.
No pics this time. BIG cloud of smoke. Must have gone off right outside the gate. Hopefuly none of our boys got hurt.
Will update more later if more info comes available

Pylon · 11-12-2009, 11:51 PM

Glad to hear you are safe.

Burner02 · 11-13-2009, 02:09 AM

Here is the link to the story of this morning's...festivities...
Suicide attack wounds foreign troops in Kabul: police - Yahoo! News

inconsiderate pricks...they picked breakfast???? Its the best meal of the day here. The other meals on occasion are bad enough that your stomach sighs...

Luckily, I'd already had my egg white omelet and fruit and washed down with the greatest concoction known to existence: Blue Monster.
If the rags would have disrupted my favorite meal of the day...I'd have had to have gone Rambo I thru IV on them!

No mention of civilians at the camp. How big is the group compared to troops? I'm assuming you get to know the people on the base. I hope those caught up in the blast are doing well.

How is the upcoming Karzai inauguration being viewed? Good thing, bad thing, or not likely to have an impact?

Burner02 · 11-15-2009, 12:11 AM

There are a lot of contractors here. I do not know any of the injured.
We have not been given any extra briefings about the upcoming inauguration.
Just finished a good book: Lone Survivor by Marcus Litteral. (sp) He was the last remaining SEAL that his 4 man team got wiped out in the mountains here back in '05. beyond the Patriotism and hooah!!! That is in the book...gives an insight to the kind of 'people' we are fighting here.
We are doing it wrong.
I think we need to keep with the hearts-n-minds angle to show the kids who haven't been brainwashed that we aren't the great evil their parents portray us to be...
