PRT Khost isn't based at FOB Salerno as is mentioned in the 2nd paragraph. It has it's own base at Chapman, down the road. I think Ackerman might mean Civil Affairs units. Also, Khost province is not a poppy-growing region, as is implied in the 11th paragraph.

you didn't include a map of the competing pipelines.

you know, the ones people are bleeding to secure...?

the pipeline: Canadians could be defending Afghan gas pipeline -J.Visser, CTV News Staff, 21Jun08

"...A U.S-backed pipeline would be an inviting target for the Taliban & al Qaeda operatives in Afghanistan, & the planned project would run directly through Kandahar, the volatile region that Canada has promised to defend through 2011.
Afghanistan & three other countries agreed in April to build a US$7.6-billion natural gas pipeline starting in 2010 that would deliver gas from energy-rich Turkmenistan to energy-hungry Pakistan & India.

The Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline is strongly supported by the U.S. because it would block a competing pipeline from Iran that would bring oil to India & Pakistan. It would also reduce Russia's dominance of the energy sector in Central Asia. ..."

"True Pacifism is not unrealistic submission to an Evil power...it is rather a courageous confrontation with Evil by the Power of Love, in the faith that it is better to be the recipient of violence than the inflicter of it, since the latter only multiplies the existence of violence & bitterness in the Universe, while the former may develop a sense of shame in the opponent, & thereby bring about a transformation & change of Heart." - MLK
