Hey everyone just wanted to say hello. I am a USN Corpsman(doc) attached to a marine unit deploying to afghanistan. I joined the forum to get a grasp or basic understanding of the Pashtun language and culture prior to being in a foreign country. Im trying to learn the most I can in 4 months so please bear with me.

Yes in a sense I will be there for America but I do not support the invasion and occupation. I was forced into my job and into a deployment but I will do it to the best of my ability because thats how I was raised.Originally posted by Hallo View PostSo for Americans!

But why do you go to Afghanistan? And what about the Afghans who need medical help? There are more Afghans who need medical help than Americans. And what do you mean "I was forced into my job"? It was your decision!Originally posted by NavyDoc View PostYes in a sense I will be there for America but I do not support the invasion and occupation.

I joined on a contract to work in a hospital but have to do time with the Marines as a medic. I have spent quite a bit of money on medical supplies for my deployment so I can help any Afghans I can. I do not go of my own will beyond the desire to help where I can. I despise the fact that america invaded the countries we did and yes I volunteered for the military but I do not believe in the violence we have created. On the classes we get taught they are extremely basic on courtesies and bare minimum on language. Ive gone through two classes and all i know is how to say is " Go away" and " come here" in addition to hello. That is what we are taught. If you want to be upset that I want to learn please tell me and I will cancel my account here.Originally posted by Hallo View PostBut why do you go to Afghanistan?

You don't need to delete your account! I'm not a Pashtun and I don't have a right to decide about it! I respect your view but you should know that you'll be ignored by lots of users here like me!Originally posted by NavyDoc View PostI joined on a contract to work in a hospital but have to do time with the Marines as a medic.
