#3 Interesting, arriving on the heels of the company of French Special Forces and a company of British SAS?
Why do I have a feeling that there is a whole lotta murderin' about to be goin' on?

The weather is much nicer there in the winter than back home in Buffalo.

It just seems that way. It's the rotation thingy. Elements of the 10th have been there since last Aug and should have been replaced by a Brigade from the 25th (Hawaii)in Feb. Obviously, the 10th has not rotated out. (The Hawaii guys are waiting for their long johns issue.) See Order of Battle Afghanistan 5 and Rotation Plan.

#6 Afghanistan has no coast for an amphibious landing. I wonder if the Pakistani people will notice the Devil Dogs driving through their country. I guess that camouflage will prevents detection. If we attach longhorns, tusks or a rack of antlers to the grill of each vehicle, maybe the locals will think it is just a stampede.
