We haven’t been out of the Green Zone for a week now. Not a good thing if you are an advisor, but
we make due by inviting our principals come to camp, and they do show up once
in a while. Frankly, as leaders, they
can’t afford to be away from their offices any more than we can back home. Advising at camp is not the same as going to
their Ministry. The bad guys are out
hunting for us, so we make it hard for them.
It’s an odd thing to have a pretty good idea who these guys are by name,
where they are from, and what they drive, yet can’t do much about it. The local police are hunting for them as well
and luckily caught a few this week, but there are a few more out there. The “Be on the lookout” warning for a Toyota
Corolla with a single bearded male doesn’t help much in this city. You go out on convoy with your head on a
swivel when allowed and stay put when you aren’t. We aren’t here to stay put.
