10,000 Birds

I did not actually go to Afghanistan for birding.

But the grand tradition continues in Iraq and Afghanistan. Tags: afghanistan military military force iraq dogs. The most famous example of military dogs is the Vietnam dogs who faithfully served American soldiers and then were abandoned to unknown fates after we left the country. I don't like it.
