Horse's first year in Afghanistan

[Alexander's Horse]

Greeting Apolytoners

Horse here.

I've just completed my first year in Afghanistan and am home on leave. Going back to Kaboom on Thursday.

I mainly just dropped by to say hello to my old polly friends. But ask me any questions about the war and I'll try to answer them.

Oh and I still civ

[KrazyHorse]

Who did you piss off so badly that they sent you to Afghanistan? You know they kill diplos over there, right?

[Jon Miller]

I was wondering what you were doing.

Stay safe.

[chequita guevara]

Don't they have interwebs in Kaboom?

[Alexander's Horse]

I like being chased

Who did you piss off so badly that they sent you to Afghanistan? You know they kill diplos over there, right?

It was one of those things where my friends were happy for me, and so were my enemies

But I've managed to keep one step ahead of the bad guys so far.

[Docfeelgood]

Be safe my friend.

[Zkribbler]

Rufus T. Firefly is heading that direction too, I do believe. Kabul shall soon be ruled by Polytubbies.

It's good to see the Horse back here in his Aponyton stable.

[Berzerker]

stay safe

does it look like the interested parties will eventually decide on some power sharing arrangement along tribal lines? What does the Afghan man on the street think will happen?

[Alexander's Horse]

hey guys, this thread is calling all vets

[Docfeelgood]

Is it as bad as it has been reported in the news?

[Dinner]

Good to hear from you Horse.

[Alexander's Horse]

stay safe

At the moment the parties are trying to settle it on the battlefield. But that can be seen as positioning for an eventual political settlement. The fighting season will start again soon.

What does the Afghan man on the street think will happen?

They mostly just want the war to go away and get on with rebuilding their lives. Ordinary Afghans are just sick of the whole thing and very war weary after 30 years of it. They don't take much interest in the war, except staying alive.

[Lancer]

Keep your head down AH, get with that staying alive trick.

[-Jrabbit]

Great to see you, Horse! Congrats on surviving a year in hell. Whatever you're doing seems to be working, so stay with it!

Gonna be around awhile?

[SlowwHand]

Keep your head down AH, get with that staying alive trick.

Ditto this good advice.
