Sometimes even travel by aircraft cannot lift you above the dirty truth that passes below you.Daily we deal with lies, bribes, corruption, and deceits. Trying to untangle the seemingly endless webs ethical, moral, financial, and ethnic challenges here is exhausting. All we can do is our duty to God and country. And count the days until we return home to our own families. To make the time go by faster we make sure our day to day lives are filled as much as possible with work and training to keep our minds off the number of days between us and the ones we love.
