So if there was allegations of gross violations of human rights, we would defund that or defund a percentage to that Afghan unit, right?

Like that's the type of conversations we're having in the office. So when we're talking about foreign girl, baby, right?

they damaged a jingle truck or they ran over some livestock they would do a message in a bottle and throw it out the window to whoever the property they damaged they wouldn't stop because you could be a target and that message would say go to this gate at rs headquarters at this time and on this day and you can present a claim against the us government and we'll reimburse you for the damage

And so we would process those claims. So we'd take our turps, we'd go outside the checkpoint, and we would interact with local Afghans that had had some sort of damage done by US military operations. And so I was very, you know, you can be very familiar with the culture and like, hey, this is a $20,000 cow. And I'm like, I don't think so. And so I had to negotiate down to a reasonable outcome.

But one of the interesting things about that is you would interact with the local street children as you go outside the gate. And so the first time you go out, you're buying their little bracelet or whatever trinket they're selling and you're trying to help them out as much as you can and like be friendly. And so I distinctly remember this one boy, he was exactly my son's age, he was like seven.
