Ok, so laying in bed last I started thinking back to Afghanistan. I left there in April so not too long ago. Scrappers there are just as hard working as anywhere else. My most memorable experience was when we were called to assist a convoy that had hit an IED. We rolled up to help secure the area. I notice a wheel to a MATV between the down vehicle and myself. I think to myself I'd pick that sucker up if I had the chance. Aparently the afghan police thought the same thing and he in fact snagged it up, sure enough by the time the whole ordeal was over and we were heading back to base I see the same guy turning in the wheel at the scrap yard. I got a huge laugh out of that. Just wanted to share this experience with y'all.
