• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Current threat level in Afghanland

I have to watch what I say for OPSEC reasons but a personal friend/source of mine who is working at the American embassy in Kabal told me that the threat level has changed. It is getting ready to change again. Biden’s announcement of taking all the troops out is not good news for the embassy. The weekly threat report has claimed warnings of VBIEDs (vehicular IEDs), IDF (rockets and mortars), and even an assassination attempt on the current Afghan president.

We need to remember that we still have Americans over there and to continue to pray for them.

100%
 
And I thought flying the rainbow flag would be the trigger.

My brother just got over there a couple of days ago. I'll reach out to see what he's heard.

Prayers to all!

Surely they are not going to fly that in Afghanistan? We used to respect the culture of others.

You were right!

 
Nephew was fortunate enough to avoid that shit hole when he was deployed last year. That was his original destination, but they were diverted when covid ran rampant.
