So true. Been in Afghanistan for 16 years and no sane soldier will walk to a local restaurant for a meal.
In Germany after 16 years, 1961, The Troops and the Frauleins were marrying and making babies. The gasthauses were full of American troops singing along with the oom-pa-pa bands.
In Afghan or Iraq or Syria, leave the compound and DIE!
All the more reason to pull out the troops and blow the cities.
