do they have "free time" over there? or are they on call and responsible for protecting others? it seems even mr special k isn't simpatico with your view
Depends on the job. When I was off duty and someone shot at the base, I went to a bunker and continued my sleepy time in there, I didn't have anything to do really short of an enemy wave storming over the wire (which isn't damned likely to happen in
Bagram). When I was on duty in the S2 shop and someone shot at the base, I got to put on body armor and keep working while everyone else went to the bunker and got to enjoy nap time.
Just because a couple of the guys were getting shitfaced doesn't mean there was a guard tower somewhere unmanned. As for Medic K, yeeaah, I'd say that's a bit more over the line than a couple guys cutting loose on their time.
