Re: Random thought of the moment.
I'm surprised they even issue a statement for anything less than 2 feet in that neck of the woods.

Snow flurries here the other day in the vicinity of West Point. That usually indicates you guys have about 5 feet by now. Must be global warming.Lunch wrote:Ayup, here we go...

Re: Random thought of the moment.
It's still like 75 degrees everyday here in Afghanistan. It's "chilly" in the mornings but during the day it's sunny and ball sweating warm. Where's the bitter cold and snow and all that shit? It rained for 2 minutes a week after I got here and it was like mana from heaven.

Cold means "permafrost" (not really permafrost but every little bit helps) which means harder to bury IED's and too cold for the fuckers to care about digging at night. I went on a patrol yesterday in a Buffalo and felt fairly secure (it weighs more than a Stryker) until we almost had to put it in a ditch (rollover, rollover, rollover! Thank you for hitting me in the face Mr. Ammo can.) Thanks for the thoughts brother.

Well don't forget that Kabul shares the same latitude as Baqubah and dare I say Lumberton NC. It's obviously the mountains/altitude that make the difference.rangertough wrote:It's still like 75 degrees everyday here in Afghanistan.

So are you trying to say that Lumberton is a backwards, third world country, ruled by a tribe with some made up version of reality.C-MAC wrote:Well don't forget that Kabul shares the same latitude as Baqubah and dare I say Lumberton NC.

Re: Random thought of the moment.
I'm sitting at my desk having a pomegranite grown by Afghans. I've had the bread (Fing AWESOME), the pom and if I can have a sit down with some locals for tea I'll have experienced all the "good things" Afghanistan is known for.
