After first denying that Afghans were fighting in Syria, despite Iranian border police capturing dozens of Afghans trying to join Islamic State, the Afghan government now admits there are at least 3-thousand Afghans fighting on the side of the United States against the Syrian government.  This also makes statements made by U.S. state of Nevada governor Brian Sandoval, at the end of September,  ‘famous last words’ as he stated that he was “100% confident” that U.S.-NATO forces in Afghanistan would prevent Islamic State from becoming an issue in Afghanistan!

An Afghan security guard has received an award for bare handily stopping a Kamikaze bomber.  The 15+ years gate guard (meaning he was there before the U.S. invaded) refused his U.S. supplied weapon: “My name is Rambo and I guard the front gate at Camp Phoenix. I’ve done this job for over 13 years now. Even before the coalition arrived here, I was working in this same spot for 15 years as a guard. When they arrived and built a base here, they asked me if I wanted to continue working as a guard. They told me that they would be giving me a rifle but I didn’t accept it. I have a knife and some other small weapons which I carry. As you know this is Afghanistan and tension can arise between people, especially in this role.  Sometimes you can become angry over small things. So for this reason I prefer to just carry my bat for my self defense.  When we saw the car coming towards us, I asked him to stop. He didn’t so I pulled open his door. When I opened the door, I saw two wires coming out of the dashboard. I quickly grabbed them. He was trying to connect the wires to detonate a bomb so I wrestled with him.  I managed to turn off the car. I shouted to the other guard that the driver was a suicide bomber. He pulled him out of the car and we arrested him.  Lots of people congratulated me after what I did. I was invited to Bagram Air Base to receive medals from an American four star general.”
