#2 Now, our team can blow up their team's checkpoints. Let's show them how to do it right and have all checkpoints blown at the same time.

#4 This is the funny part. All the outrage about the North Wazoo treaty is based on the notion that either side intends to follow it, or that they for one instant believe that their enemy will follow it.

Heck, the time when MOST to be afraid in Pakistan is when somebody offers to quit fighting you. That either means they are preparing for a major attack, or you have totally crippled them.

#5 Back in 89 I was near that area. Talk about backward goat herders. At one point our truck was stopped by a 6 year old little girl being carted off for a traditional tribal pedophile marriage. I'm not certain that anything short of a complete mop op would ever change it.

But darn they did know how to fix curried goat.

Booby traps? LOL! great idea!
