Surge of Nerds Rebuilds Afghanistan
- tdavis 18y agoSteps I would like to see first: 1. Roads 2. Bridges wide enough for a Humvee so I don't have to run into your mud walls. Those must take forever to build; my bad. 3. No more mud walls. 4. Police force that isn't completely corrupt. No "Police Chief", we will not *bribe you* to wake up at 6 AM to do your job, regardless of how inconvenient it is for you. Oh, and stop STEALING SHIT FROM PEOPLE. I always hoped for an excuse to shoot these guys... I've met quite a few smart, motivated Afghanis. Far more motivated than any American I've ever met, so I am certainly rooting for them.

- CalmQuiet 18y agoThis is a nice piece of anti-stereotype reporting (even if they troll by using "nerd" for headline). And... a little spot of hope for bringing 21st century tech to countries with millennia of cultural history. More power to 'em!
