God bless you for your service.
I have a buddy there right now in charge of arming and handing over fuel to the Afghan army. Although your service is noble and extremely honorable  the United States involvement is a major embarrassment. The Afghans are using the foreign aid they receive from us to the hilt. The tankers of fuel our Government sends them to keep the Afghan army going just end up on the local agora or market and is sold to anyone. Last week they refused a major shipment of m16s because they were not brand new. He claims the weapons were in better shape than any he has ever been issued and he has been in the Army guard since 1983. To be honest they would prefer AK 47s anyway.
Stmntz keep your eyes open and your hind end down the entire time you are there and come home safe.
For those of you reading this you must realize that the last man that wants to see war is a soldier but he does what he has to do for God and country.
