Well, get some 'Off!' ... buy bug zappers (which kill mostly bugs that are better left alone) ... go inside and turn on the air conditioning ... Anyway, the concept of really roughing it is lost to many Americans, many of whom think that Motel 6 and the tiny bars of soap with no faddish scents is "roughing it". A car without an automatic transmission or a cassette deck. Shoot! Those Talebaniaqs probably thought they was prett' speshul when they got to ride on the Toyota 4X4s. There are perks after all for being part of the elite fighting force of the foremost theocracy in the world! Bugs? Can anyone imagine the mess the poor "freedom fighters" (I am not quoting out of derision; it's ironic that they are as far from freedom now as anyone could be, despite the regime they followed for the fight for "freedom", another irony), can anyone imagine the mess these fellows would have with bugs in their head hair and in their beards and wherever else? Shaving as a loss of dignity? Weeping, infected sores and scratching all the time, smelling like the inside of a can of Malathion, not to mention the introduction of diseases to which the Talebaniaqs are properly foreign, not to mention the ones they may already have. Ah, yes, "dignity". Perhaps there is something about this scenario that dredges up the recollections of the camping grounds of the 30ies and 40ies in various parts of Europe but today's reality mandates "context, context, context" or in the words of business persons, "location, location, location". Thankfully the Talebaniaqs are not being held captive by a nation who is fighting a three or four front war with absurdly extended supply lines and limited supplies to begin with, limited supplies that are reserved for participants of the war efforts. The "Gitmo Gang" members are in comparatively GREAT shape, I would say. > That can be considered bloody torture in the swamp areas > where they are, when they are forced to sleep naked. > > But the articles have totally missed one important point: > Did they shave just the prisoners' heads or everywhere? I imagine they got some special soap for the sparsely "forested" areas. This may cause them a problem though: regular showers with soap. I'm not sure (and I hate to stereotype) how often that happened back in Ol' Afghani.
