13. I believe the state of Afghan women is due in part

From Afghanistan being the stomping grounds for one war or another for centuries. The culture has suffered enormously; with women and children suffering most of all.

Bringing more war because of extremist radical idiots isn't going to improve shit-- rather support for afghan women and encouraging self support as much as possible and education.

The story of Afghanistan is tragically sad for the women and the cultures there.


My daughter was deployed there, she was decorated for going out on multiple search missions, looking for Taliban-- men were not allowed to search the women. She said they couldn't believe a women was in the military, and they'd actually touch her breasts to ensure themselves she was female. Water was a problem--lots of problems.
