I was there, we knew it as “K2”. In places, the ground stank of MiG jet fuel dumped over many years.
But all in all, not a bad place, compared to Iraq & Afghanistan. Uzbeks had not learned to hate Americans, there were some beautiful women there, and they all liked their vodka.
Anyway, thank you Mr. President. You will be missed.
Ransomnote,
Thank you for posting President’s Trump EO regarding US veterans who served in Uzbekistan:
Section 1. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, shall consider whether to designate veterans who served on active duty in Uzbekistan between October 1, 2001, and December 31, 2005, as veterans who served on active duty in a theater of combat operations pursuant to section 1710(e)(1)(D) of title 38, United States Code.
ransom, please check the URL in the link. I got 404 not found. Either you mis-typed it or the Bidenites are already canceling it as a sign of their contempt and hatred for U.S. military veterans.
