Afghan Lessons Learned for Soldiers

A new American milblog (their individual blogs listed at preceding link), from these authors:

We are four Afghan Veterans who, in response to a query for information from SGT Danger, have decided to create a place for Soldiers to find information about deploying to Afghanistan. We are three Senior NCO's and one Major, and we have served in both line units and as embedded advisors in Afghanistan. We were filled full of bullshit by those who trained us, and so we are trying to help tell it like it really is. We hope that this information helps you to get acclimated more quickly, and to have a better understanding of the environment that you are headed into. If you have any questions, email us and we will try to answer them. If you have something to contribute, email it in Word format to the blog address, and we will review it for publication.

Update: An interesting American post, with further links, about working with Afghans generally at Ghosts of Alexander--- a real interest in problem solving in order to achieve results. One is constantly struck by the American commitment to freedom of expression, even from the military.
