Atlantic magazine series on southern Afstan

Comment by Dataperson at Milnet.ca:

Graehme Wood of The Atlantic is touring southern Afghanistan with US and Canadian troops. His articles are an intersting foot-on-the ground narrative.

My favourite quote so far:

The linguistic relationship of the French Canadians and their US and Afghan partners is rarely an obstacle, but is sometimes amusing to observe. At one point the radio says in rapid French that "the base is being attacked by multiple fighters on motorcycles, with small arms and supporting mortar fire." The translation for non-Canadians says in a thick Quebec accent that "the strong point is being attacked by..." -- and here there is a three-beat pause -- "the enemy."

Update: I forgot that the Atlantic author, Graeme Wood, has already written about the CF in Afstan (h/t BruceR)
