The Kabul-Ki Dance

Inside the cockpit with members of the 391st Fighter Squadron, veterans of the recent air war in Afghanistan
by Mark Bowden.

You can purchase this lengthy article on line at the Atlantic Monthly site. Or perhaps you can go down to the library and read it.

If your an "American admirer" you'll enjoy this. How it was done with pretty good detail; tales told by the participants; interesting stuff about the players (Why is the female F-15E wizzo called "Baldy"?) Much hubris and bravado.

If you're an "American detractor" you'll enjoy criticizing those "arrogant Americans" in posts after you read it. It'll reinforce your image of those arrogant bastiges. Enjoy.
