I Went To Afghanistan In '96 To Write About Terrorist Training Camps South Of Jalalabad And Tora Bora, In The Mountains. I Was There Right Before The Taliban Took Over, Literally A Few Weeks Before They Took Kabul. The Frontline Wasn't Terribly Active, But It Was Definitely There. And They Swept Into Power.

An Adventure Is A Situation Where The Outcome Is Not Entirely Within Your Control. It Is Up To Fate, In Other Words

The Only Thing That Makes Battle Psychologically Tolerable Is The Brotherhood Among Soldiers. You Need Each Other To Get By.

Often People Who Live Through The Trauma Are Nostalgic When It's Over. When I Went Back To Bosnia 20 Years After The Brutal Civil War, Even People Who Had Been Badly Wounded Told Me They Missed Those Times. They Were Missing Their More Courageous Selves.

People Who Do Really Dangerous Tasks Can't Afford To Sit Around And Discuss The Merits Of What They're Doing.
