Gemini did it but didn't pay hazard pay because it was not a declared "war zone". Make sure you get paid appropriately and Company insurance or supplemental is valid when operating into places like this. Furthermore a training program would be nice. (However a special training program implies what the Company doesn't want to state: "it's exceptionally dangerous to operate into Kabul.") There's a reason C-17's are doing blacked out approaches and it's probably not prudent to do an all lit-up straight in final to an exceptionally hostile place.
