> [@Carnut](#): > > :ohnoes: definately keep safe… were you involved in the convoy? close, if we didn’t stop to test fire some weapons that would have been our convoy. what’s funny is with it being so close to the FOB it’s really woken up the fobbits. They got a little wake up call to the fact that they really are in a war zone. ---

oh and just an update for anyone interested. [http://www.voanews.com/english/2008-05-31-voa13.cfm](http://www.voanews.com/english/2008-05-31-voa13.cfm) [http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5ijArvksIoK1zHjxV6vYYhEPYueGw](http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5ijArvksIoK1zHjxV6vYYhEPYueGw) the facts about here: insurgency and terrorism are a seasonal thing around here. the winters are calm and boring. the summer and fall are when things heat up. ISAF is a for the most part US. most of this country is “safe” the teliban still have a couple cities under their control almost every official in this country is corrupt and working for the teliban or drug trader is some form or another i watch millions of dollars every day wasted it’s amazing. ---
