  1. On chow line last night Marines dinner music was by Lady Gaga. They love her in Now Zad!! Who knew?
  2. Freezing cold shower this morning in Now Zad. Better than coffee in the morning.
  3. Tonight's World News will have a story about the Marines in Now Zad, Afganistan. A small city turned into a ghost town. Marines want it back
  4. Got my "kill card" yesterday. 4 cards. One for each extremity. A disturbing reminder of how big a threat IEDs are here.
  5. Just had my first "wag bag" experience. It's like a whole new world.
  6. stumbled into a cup of coffee this morning while admiring the most impressive ambulance i've ever seen: A moveable ER fortress.
  7. In Now Zad, Afghanistan. Hanging out with the Marines of Lima Company, 3Battlion 4th Marines. Rough little patch.
  8. Happy Thanksgiving. Spent the day with Marines on a tiny base in S. Afg. They ate very well. Even ice cream.
  9. World News story on what the Marines are up to in Delaram, Afg. http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=9178987
  10. Here's where I've been hanging out with Marines. http://tinyurl.com/yb26c4o
  11. Feature story out of Afghanistan. Always surprising what one finds in the middle of nowhere. http://tiny.cc/ajgw2
  12. Looks like it's gonna be a Marine thanksgiving
  13. Still with the Marines in S. Afg. In Delaram where counter insurgency strat is in full swing. The Marines have their work cut out for them
  14. In Helmand Province. The social/insurgent dynamics here are incredible: like High Noon meets Blazing Saddles
  15. Was stuck in Kandahar 24 hrs. We took in the sights... 7 PXs in one day. All serving different nations. Didn't know there was Danish PX
  16. Afghanistan: on a Marine base in Helmand Province. This place is growing by leaps and bounds. Headed to an even smaller base tonight.
  17. Goes without saying I suppose but Kabul is really different from Baghdad. http://㐂䘳.sl.pt
  18. Gorgeous day in Kabul: sunny cold. Rained here last night. Snowed in the mountains. Winter sets in. That should bring down the violence
  19. just landed in kabul. Right in the middle of afternoon rush hour. My colleague aleem and i are comparing blackberries. Such geeks
  20. Headed to Kabul. First time to Afghanistan. Strange as it seems, I'm looking forward to it.
