Tell him to quit being a pussy.
I agree.

I was there in 03-04 and the only part of his story that is true is the heat, especially the part about being bombarded and raided. The worst places when I was there were A-Bad and J-Bad and at the worst they might get 3 or 4 unaimed rockets hit in the general area of the FOB in a night, but for the other 360 days in the year they only got hit with a random rocket every few nights.

Orgun-E, Salerno, and Bohemian were all far quieter. Kandahar, Kabul, and Bagram were more like garrison than anything else.


I seriously doubt he is staying in a tent either, but even if he is they have AC units that work better than any unit you will find hooked up to a house.
