Embedded Files
From August to November 2010, I was embedded with the US Special Operations headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan. Unlike with my deployment to Iraq, this time there were no fancy palaces, but I was glad I had brought my camera nevertheless!
A lot more pictures are in my photo album. Please contact me if you want full-resolution versions or if you plan to use any of these pictures.

Our base was in the Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood, of "Kite Runner" fame. And I actually got to fly one!

On every flight, door gunners are on the lookout for incoming missiles or small arms fire.
