Nie zamieszczam za wiele komentarza, zwracam tylko uwage fakt przemilczany
(chyba) w polskiej prasie:
"I'm not some peacenik, pot-smoking hippie who wants everyone to be in love,"
Hoh said. Although he said his time in Zabul was the "second-best job I've
ever had," his dominant experience is from the Marines, where many of his
closest friends still serve.
"There are plenty of dudes who need to be killed," he said of al-Qaeda and the
Taliban. "I was never more happy than when our Iraq team whacked a bunch of guys."
But many Afghans, he wrote in his resignation letter, are fighting the United
States largely because its troops are there — a growing military presence in
villages and valleys where outsiders, including other Afghans, are not welcome
and where the corrupt, U.S.-backed national government is rejected. While the
Taliban is a malign presence, and Pakistan-based al-Qaeda needs to be
confronted, he said, the United States is asking its troops to die in
Afghanistan for what is essentially a far-off civil war.
