This is good! It’s obvious a lot of your issues stem from your personal relationship, so why did you say “they never improve” instead of “my wife never improved”
Can confirm. I was in the Nangahar Province from 2011-2012. There were multiple populated areas that we had a presence in which not only the police chiefs, but also the local politicians kept young boys around for obvious reasons. I saw a lot of brass ignore this horrifying fact. Really messed up stuff.
