the above line and response was common enough from my wargaming days, where each player in a group of allies usually preferred independent operations.
Currently in Afghanistan:
"BERLIN (AP) - A civilian was killed when a heavy bundle of humanitarian supplies dropped by parachute crushed her house in northern Afghanistan (news - web sites), the U.S. military said Thursday."
Crushed by food and blankets.
Well, soon the airfield at Mazir-rey-Sharif (sp) will be operating for more efficiant import of relief supplies. The biggest problems will be having enough trucks and gasoline for dround distribution, and preventling warlords from using aid distribution for power purposes. The NA is feling its oats now and is starting to thumb its nose at the rest of the world. Predictions anyone, for a functional Afghanistan adminstration within a year?
