Armymedic,
I'm talking about the "timing" of the Nyala announcement here, and the fact that they are sending over so many (43) after the incident. I was in Afghanistan for the TAT in 2003. I was there in 2004, in 2005, and I'm going again in March, 2006 - so I have a pretty good idea of the place. Even driven through the "badlands" behind the Russian Officer's Mess in Kabul in "Toyota 11" when civvy pattern vehicles were an accepted way of getting around in 2003. I felt safest in the Nyala though. Too bad we only had one back then.
Stick with handing out the Cepacol.
