One of the many canals that run across this base.
The other day, a little girl I know went to the doctor for a UT infection. A few minutes in the doctor's office and a shot in the butt and she will be fine---no big deal. Something then occurred to me. If she lived in Afghanistan-especially before it came under new management, this would have been a life threatening condition. Under the Taliban, women were not allowed to be doctors. In addition, male doctors were notallowed to examine female patients. The net result: Afghanistan is oneof the few countries in the world were women have a shorter life expectancy than men.

Funny, I don’t recall any feminists thanking the president.
