Bombs and Rainbows


The enemy made a bold statement by attacking one of the Afghan Security Force compounds close to us.  We knew it was big as our building shook pretty well.  The alarms went off telling us to shelter in place as we kitted up, take account of our staff and continue working at our desks.  A rather interesting sight as your co-workers in full body armor, clicked at their mouse(s?) and tapped on their keyboards.  The bad people detonated a vehicle bomb at the compound gate, then stormed with armed men.  The whole thing lasted a few hours as the gun battle raged on.   About two hours later a rainbow appeared with its end seemingly landing about where the tragedy took place.  This place is full of irony or hope………….take your pick.
