Another POV from the ground, or skimming slightly above it

I haven't had much time to blog lately, but I'm looking forward to learning more about the recent Afghan-Pakistani jirga to discuss the cross-border insurgency - which as you know will impact the Canadian military and civilian efforts in Kandahar quite significantly.

In the meantime, you can read the point of view of one gentleman who has spent more hours flying attack helos than many of this blog's readers have been alive, starting in Vietnam and continuing through Iraq. He's currently working in an unspecified civilian role somewhere in southwest Asia.

His thoughts on the recent conference, and on Pakistani border actions and issues can be found here.
