Letter From Afghanistan Ragtag Army

Every vegetable garden and irrigation system incorporates pieces of dismembered military hardware, ingeniously adapted into sluices and gates, and the boys working in the fields wear distinctive brass-buckled belts taken from dead Russians. Further up in the Panjshir Valley, once the heartland of the anti-Soviet-and now of the anti-Taliban resistance-a boy-soldier carries a Martini-Henry rifle of 1880s vintage. That’s a souvenir of an even earlier incursion: the British attempt to subdue the tribes of Afghanistan....

A draw would’ve been enough to get Las Aguilas into the “Gran Fiesta”, and Manuel Perez’s double with goals in the 68th and 70th minutes seemed to have done just that....
