Okay, I'll be the first. (1) Why did you decide to be a scout? (2) What one word would you use to describe Afghanistan--and you can only use one word!

Mar 7, 2011 12:46 AMi decided to be a scout because i liked the thought of being ahead of the frontline observing the enemy, instead of being just another grunt infantrymen. the difference between a scout and infantrymen is a scout reports information accurately and rapidly. and for your one word its hard to pick just one this place seems like an out take from road warrior, but i guess id pick tribalism. more than just the living communal sense, everything focus' around tribe before government. making it difficult to establish a self sustaining government.
