His old man is crazier than he is.
“His old man is crazier than he is.”
Maybe he is mad at the father for giving his okay for his son to leave (”follow your conscience”) instead of telling him to stay. I think his father told him the Taliban would be glad to have him. Maybe he realizes that his father has been politicizing this from the beginning and endangering him. If the Taliban really did keep him in a cage and his father has been praising the Taliban, I wouldn’t want to speak to my father either.
