      Wow. Required reading. Heavy, sharp, thoughtful and thought-provoking.

      First person perspectives are extremely valuable. To me, this is worth 100x more than anything that any politician has to say.

      I love to see this kind of stuff on Readup and I want to help elevate it to AOTD.

      Please read and share widely. Nice scout @monstertuck

      Interesting perspective from someone that truly minimized how difficult his job must have been. It is interesting to hear how determined the Taliban were/are.

        Interesting scout, also disturbing, because of the way the killing is so casually covered. This relentless conviction, the “self-fulfilling prophecy” makes the fanaticism so scary. It must take amazing mental strength to stay sane during and after such an enduring war…

      No sales meeting, movie set, or locker room has ever seen the level of hyper-enthusiastic preparation that the Taliban demonstrated before, during, and after every battle

      I had no idea...
