  2. I got all kinds of glimpses into Afghanistan (pashtu) just by buying bags of socks for them. It was hard to get good socks there I guess. Lovely food too

  3. The part of Afghanistan/pakistan this comes from isn't really a desert. It is dry but rocky trees and scrubland kind of dry. High alpine, not sandy desert, that's more south and west which has a different culture and is completely different tribal groups. These are mountain tribe kind of people, the pashto

  6.  @bavarianpotato  That is absolutely not correct, war fatigue and the effects of combat on people are extremely well documented and common throughout history. It's just now there are more people who DON'T have ptsd and less social acceptance of the ill effects of PTSD so it gets spotted and treated when before it was the nature of men and not considered any different. A modern diagnosis is a label applied to a condition that is fundamental. PTSD is the blanket term for conditions that re write the brain, but the brain re writing itself around trauma is as old as life itself. So your statement is entirely mistaken I'm afraid.
