... our host Vaughn has been getting himself shot at by the Taliban.
I was tensed up the whole time we watched this report on TV. I knew intellectually that the war puts people in insane situations, but some of the images Vaughn caught are as surreal as they are violent (i.e. walking in straight lines even when under fire so they won't step on mines or IEDs). Most bizarre is the fact that never once do you see the enemy; I don't even know if the soldiers could see them or just guess where they were by where the bullets were coming from.
Anyway, strap yourself in and see what the guy who owns this farm has been up to while we dug in the ground, raked leaves and planted raspberries.

ReplyDeleteI feel like there is no better expression of absurdity than seeing a man shoulder a rocket launcher and fire a missile that costs more than what I make in a week at what might be a place where maybe one man with a gun might be.
