24. Maybe

In the Stan all things are possible. As someone who has lived and fought in the Kandahar region for two years, I’ve seen the supposed good guy Afghan soldiers do horrible, heinous things. I have also witnessed the Bad Taliban provide food and aid to poor villagers. Nothing is what is seems in the Stan, and any media coverage regarding day to day operations is hilariously wrong. So, who the fuck knows.
