Contract Afghanistan

ByGregory T Lowrey

Over 100,000 contractors work in Afghanistan. They build the bases,provide transportation and security,feed and house the troops and support NATO.They outnumber the troops and live under military protection. This is a story of one that chose to live outside the walls. Go through the streets of Kabul and the roads of the provinces. Meet the men and women that are trying to improve life here. Meet the Taliban and Al Qaeda,and another foe,the Mafia.Learn the ways of the people and those that would control them through their profiteering and illegal deals.Meet the grunts and officers,and the fighters who are neither.Go inside the bases, drive the roads and see the country.Learn the deals and the mis-deals;the intrigue and the espionage and the just plain corruption.This is Afghanistan,in the raw and seen from the eyes of a world traveler, who, until now, was truly naive.Feel his pain,his fear and frustration.Realize that there is animal in all of us;and what it takes to make it come out.
