| Animal House in Afghanistan |
| 2009-09-01 |
| Drunken brawls, prostitutes, hazing and humiliation, taking vodka shots out of buttcracks— no, the perpetrators of these Animal House-like antics aren't some depraved frat brothers. They are the private security contractors guarding Camp Sullivan, otherwise known as the US Embassy in Kabul. These allegations, and many more, are contained in a letter sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday by the Project on Government Oversight, which has been investigating the embassy security contract held by ArmorGroup North America (a subsidiary of Wackenhut, which is in turn owned by the security behemoth G4S). The contractor was the subject of a congressional probe earlier this summer that found serious lapses in the company's handling of the embassy security contract, which internal State Department documents said left the embassy compound "in jeopardy." Nevertheless, the government opted to extend the company's 5-year, $189 million contract for another year. |

| #8 Then it's no wonder why I see all the ads for Russian wives. So how do you fit four Russian guards on a barstool on Friday night? Just turn it over! :-P |

| #7 taking vodka shots out of buttcracks You guys are so parochial. This is a longstanding Russian cultural celebration. I think they call it "Friday Night". |

| #4 It's because of the fire trucks. Fire trucks are red and they, like the Red Soviets, are always rushin' around all over the place. |

| #1 It sounds like they are hiring russian guards. The Russian mafia is still strong there. It can be a bit suprising to see russian working girls in country but they are there. |
