Hellfire

AFTERWORD

JULY 2009

As I sit writing this from the comfort of my home friends continue to keep me informed about what’s happening in Afghanistan. Andy Wawn sends me regular emails even now, three years beyond that epic tour.

He and his fellow Apache pilots are firing more ammunition and flying more hours than we ever did. Repetition of tours is becoming more frequent, and the team is utterly ball-bagged.

A Major in the US Marines recently informed me that they are currently coming up against particularly heavy resistance in a place called Jugroom Fort. He thanked me for writing Apache and giving them a heads up.
