#15 On Friday, participants were working out how to react to a local farmer's request for compensation after his cattle had been killed stepping on a land mine.

A team of “reporters” even wrote stories and aired broadcasts on the mock World News Network, providing more fodder for responses to the scenario. Participants watched the mock broadcasts, which included a reporter doing a stand-up in the Camp Edwards training area as well as file footage.


Saturday was to be a day free from the exercises, giving participants a chance to visit Cape beaches and be treated to a traditional lobster boil back on the base, Harrington said.
That's the day the three Afghan men went missing.

I'm not eating those spiders! Yuk!

Lt. Col. Thomas Stewart, the Guard's commander of the exercise, said Friday he's already learned a valuable lesson from his fellow commanders.

During one scenario, several generators were broken down. Stewart's first inclination was to send in a new supply, but Afghanistan Maj. Yama Akramyar convinced him that perhaps sending in a trained maintenance man would be a better solution.

“I should have thought of that,” Stewart said. “I've learned that what I may do may be different than what my counterparts would do. That's an education in itself.”

If I had to sit through that BS, I'd be outta there, too.
