Fighter jets have the sizzle. Bombers bring the steak. But cargo aircraft like the C-17 Globemaster can always take pride in doing a good day's work. What a ride it had been this year in Afghanistan. At war since 430 BC, I survived by following Startrek's Prime Directive (google it)!
In the fictional universe of Star Trek, the Prime Directive (also known as "Starfleet General Order 1", "General Order 1", and the "non-interference directive") is a guiding principle of Starfleet, prohibiting its members from interfering with the internal and natural development of alien civilizations.
We landed in Kuwait 4 hours after takeoff. Just like that we are out of Afghanistan
No more body armor. A lighter life!
My pack of dogs I had to leave behind
The hikes in the Hindu Kush were the IN to my Sane!
