Anecdote: Say we're Afghani and you do me a huge favor one day. Then you go off to be trained as a terrorist, while I become a Afghani police/military. Then years later you come back a freshly trained terrorist, and come to me and ask me to get you a job as cop (with access to US bases). I know you went off to say Pakistan and most likely got trained as a terrorist, but since I "owe you," I have to vouch for you. Then you commit another insider attack...
That's how messed up that place is!
All good books as was Lone Survivor...
