The Guamaniac

Although we do have an official interpreter assigned to us on most missions we have our own special type of linguist/cultural expert. Perez, or as he is known by the locals "Padawan" could run for office here in Helmand. Who would have thought that the boy from the island territory of Guam would fall in so easily with the desert people of Afghanistan? He is so close with them that most people watch in awe as they interact. Maybe the language they speak in Guam is similar to Pashto. Perhaps they have a common bond because they are both used to living in primitive conditions.* My humble suggestion would be that they are all insane. Submitted for your judgment I give you this short film of their interactions.

*I.E.: Making a spear by hand and then going fishing with it like Perez has told me stories about doing back home.
