041311 Iraq sucks but Afghanistan sucks more!

041311 Iraq sucks but Afghanistan sucks more!

The last few days have been nothing but blowing dust.  It's miserable to be outside and even inside at the DFAC you can see a lot of dust in the air.  Last night at the DFAC all the fire alarms were going off since the dust is so thick  the fire alarms think that it is smoke and thus it's a cacophony of beeps.  The  dust isn't good either.  Next week there'll be a surge at the TMC (troop  medical center) for upper respiratory infections (aka Iraqi crud or Kuwaiti crud.)
The pics are from a nearby camp that a friend took.  They go through the same thing in Afghanistan but they live in tents or SEAhuts there.  At least we have sealed hooches in Iraq.  So yea, Iraq sucks but Afghanistan sucks more!

    Spent a year of my life over there. Hated every second. I thought I've seen some shitty places before, but I was surprised when I first arrived. They lowered the ramp and within seconds my old-factory senses where overwhelmed but what can only be explained as cooked feces and boiling urine. God was not generous or giving to that land.
