When I was in Afghanistan they used to dump their trash into ditches on the side of the road and let it pile up all summer long. then right before its started snowing they had guys come out and pick through the trash for plastic water bottles and metal. then once the pile was picked through they would light the trash on fire to stay warm. All the bottles went to this one place in Parwan province. they started out having a small little pile of things I noticed during the summer. Come mid Feb. the pile of plastic water bottles coulda filled about 5 american semi trailers without bailing. Over here we pollute and recycle things the way we do and over there they have their own methods. Over here you have people who just toss all kinds of recycling and hazardous waste into their trash can or into the woods all because they're too lazy or ignorant to dispose of it properly. Over there I saw hoards of kids start running and fighting each other trying to be the first one to pick up the still hot brass flare casings we were shooting at them. every time we went to the range we just left the brass and the kids would gather up until we were done and then nearly get them selves run over trying to pick up all the shells we left. are we really all that much more superior to them just because we don't understand what they're doing at first glance?
