It was messy I tell you

When we got to Bagram we ended up in the middle of a couple different pitch battles between some Americans and locals. The locals outnumbered the solders, but were driven back through sheer force of will. Our truck got hit a couple of times and and I saw one soldier get hit in the head. It was a mean slush ball, and I’m sure he was digging snow out of his shirt for a while. It seems no matter where you go, snow just has a certain affect on people that reduces their age to the low teens. I almost thought about joining, but didn’t want to be wet on a cold airplane.

I made it out of Bagram by the late afternoon amazingly, and was in Kuwait by early evening.
