Really? I would have thought  it would be open information. Wouldn't the same general principles apply to troops in Afghanistan as they did to troops on other deployments?

That's what I thought... I'm trying to find the regs for members overseas right now.

What are the regulations on CF troops and Afghani law? I assume they're subject to military law and not Afghan law - am I correct?

Is there some kind of requisite for backwoods bible thumpers to be A) morbidly, disgustingly fat, and B) unbelievably ignorant and stupid??
