YOU COULD DIE ANY DAY

YOU MIGHT DIE EVERY SINGLE DAY

BEING DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN AS A SOLDIER OF GERMANY ARMY.

The deployment to Afghanistan starts with us being torn out of

sleep: torn out by the tactical flight of our C160 through afhgan clouds heading for KUNDUZ airport.

My mission in a country that I have only known from books and Tv starts with the

happiness of having reached the ground safely. War, terror, pain and misery are clearly branded on this places people`s faces. But them there is also something more.

Hospitality and appreciation accompanied my exploration of a country which I would

have never expected to be that way.
