A contractor for Armor Group.

A relatively few really gave folks a big black eye in Kabul.

If you haven't seen the news simply google "guards gone wild" and you'll see.

I don't think "US man working in Afghanistan" automatically translates to "guards gone wild", hun...

For some reason, I think Afghanistan is not the first nor the only area where US Forces are stationed that are confronting disciplanary problems with the Forces and the hired security companies. Wasn't it a few years back that the US had a bit of the same problems in Iraq?

I think you are a wonderful person for trying to help in such a dismall and impossible situation...

I did watch the tape...

What I meant to say -as if it's not clear enough- is that not all Americans in Afghanistan or Iraq are bad and mean... There are exceptions and Sparky here is one of them...

Men in positions of power...unless you have very strong moral values, the most likely scenario is that a man in a position of power will become corrupt moping specially if he's backed up by other men in positions of power with big guns...dunno

I KNOW you do not tolerate, support or let alone be part of anything like this. Measures are being taken to dismiss people responsible and the ban on alcohol in the compound should help. I hope the situation gets better...

Always in my prayers
