This has got to be the Bee under another guise.

(But considering the last CIA ‘diversity’ advertisement, it’s hard to know...)

If I hadn’t seen the fall of Saigon, this would all be funny.

I saw it on TV. Not every country is prepared culturally to fight. I’m not even sure the common Afghani sees himself as part of a country - he probably only identifies with a tribe.

There is an urgent need for social workers in Kabul.
Community organizers are also in short supply.
CRT instructors urgently needed!

I didn’t mean to suggest that I was actually in Viet Nam. I, also, saw it on the evening television news - and I cried to see that we had so mismanaged that war, and then decided to just cut and run.

I agree with you. Someone recently called Afghanistan an ‘impossible mission’ from the start, and it has been. It’s too foreign and backward for us to try and fight there and certainly to try to ‘nation build’.

But after using thousands of the people there, we have a duty. If we don’t fulfill it, how will other people in the world feel about becoming our allies in anything?

LANGUAGE: Level 4/4 (Fluent) spoken and written English, Level 4 (Fluent) Dari and Pashto is required.

It will involve explaining to the Taliban why they should accept Federal Government policies on gay-partner insurance benefits and transgendered bathroom policy

I don’t think there’s a ‘race’ issue in Afghanistan. But they certainly need some training in the area of their violations and abuse of women.

Is Baghdad Bob available? If not, how about Adm. Kirby of the US Queens’ Navy? I’d actually want to send Ms. SakiofShit over there, forever. You know what the Taliban would due to an American redhead. At least she would deserve it!
