After two years in an old thread of lies, denials, insults, threats, and running a trump-like recruiting campaign, to say nothing of telling a board full of participants who have been there, seen that, done that, and know the country, that it isn't so...it withered away, the website is gone, and Tony has gone to greener pastures somewhere else.
Afghanistan, incidentally, IS third world.
It's almost as if, in 2015, someone found an unused can of fobbit-be-gone, and he vamoosed. Now three years later, raised from the dead, it's still entertaining to read, especially in retrospect. Between all the regional millennials who had never been out of the country and didn't have a leg to stand on, to the guy trying to recruit for it, hush-hush money and the-big-stuff-is-coming, and those who actually have been there, it's like watching a train wreck of denial, complete with built in pre-failure excuses and laundry lists.
Sort of like a recruiting thread with delay codes.
