So, I was looking through my pictures. It reminded me of our trip 
into Afghanistan from Ft. Riley. We flew from Kansas City through Ireland and arrived in Manas Air Field in Bishkek, Kyurgyzstan. It was crazy, as soon as we stepped off of the plane I felt like I was in 1950's Soviet Union. Everything had an early Cold War look about it and Russian writing was everywhere. All I could think of was Borat. VERY NICE! HIGH FIVEA!

Grown men in the middle of the day, sitting on a rooftop, looking at traffic. I presume they were thinking of maybe working or finding a job. Maybe that's why the Taliban has such an easy time recruiting.
