1. My 19 year old godson is in NE Afghanistan and that has been hot lately.

A month ago that is where 9 of our troops were killed about a week before they were to go home. Two weeks ago there were 4 more soldiers killed there. When that happened my godson's mom did not hear from him for a week because they lock down all communications when there are casualties.
