On Saturday, the Vice-President elect came to ISAF HQ to get a security breifing from Gen. David McKiernan, COMISAF. After that briefing, he took a few minutes to talk with the troops. In this picture, my new pal Joe and I talked for a brief moment about our service here in Afghanistan.
Joe took a swing at the Karzi Administration when he told us, "thank you for your service. It's tough here. It's tough serving in a country where the government you're protecting isn't protecting you." He was obviously reacting to the recent death of five Americans soldiers here.
He may be a democrat, but I like him holding the Afghans president's feet to the fire!
