These Are Afghanistan’s Security Personnel, Not FratPad.com Stars
THE SHOT — A sneak peek at at the security contractors hired by the United States government to protect State Department facilities in Kabul, Afghanistan. But don’t think for a second this playtime is endangering Americans abroad; what you see here is merely a hazing ritual for new staff arrivals. [Gawker]
Sign me up!
@Nick:
For therapy?
A mess! I never did understand the appeal of hazing. People reveal a lot about themselves with the types of stuff they do in these rituals. I wonder if Americans realize how crazy some of these contractors/military personnel are. Just think – most of them will be bringing their warped minds back to the US and treated like heroes!
Looks like a night at any gay bar in town. How dare we judge them!!!!
And apparently there are more of these contractors in Afganistan than actual soldiers. We have private armies handling such a sensitive situation. And look at them. Pathetic. The United States Military will take the blame when something goes wrong.
