My son is on temporary duty in Afghanistan until sometime this summer. He wrote last week that he may be starting to enjoy his work a bit too much. To give you a reason why, I'll just say that he's one of the few people in the world who can say they have a graduate degree from a university with a department of war studies. The kid isn't a soldier in the usual sense; he's fighting this battle as an expert in tribal conflict. He's taking very good notes - I hope some pictures - on his observations and impressions of life in a country torn by almost thirty years of war. The good news for Old Tybee Ranger readers is his agreement to let me edit his work and post it each week. That's the plan; we'll see how it goes. Look for the first report in the next week or so.
