• 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).

New Article on CrootNews: Afghanistan is a Third World Country

I read a few years ago that Afghanistan had the highest rate of rabies in the world. That can not be good. That sounds like a shithole.

Did you ever by meat in the open air markets from a vendor?

Did Russian women ever come down to visit?
1. I wouldn’t be surprised about the rabies stat. There were many “wild” dogs roaming around. Some domesticated, some not.

2. Never bought the meat hanging up, however I have had many dishes with meat in it. After my first time eating their food, I had severe dysentery. Another kinda funny story, we were in a fire fight. There was a cow in the crossfire, it @died. We paid the owner and took the dead cow. Had the local butcher cut it up for us, and we ate like kings for a couple weeks.

3. Only time we had interaction with Soviet women were in Bagram Airbase and Kyrgyzstan when we were climatizing. They worked on the bases, a couple hotties cut hair.
