Personally, it seems to me that the District Human Resources Department should have thought about this problem. But it, apparently, was so busy with more important issues of serving the Motherland that it withdrew from the proper formation of the regiment, which was going to be sent to Panjshir at the forefront of the main attack. As a result of this method of personnel selection, instead of well-trained machine gunners, grenade launchers and snipers, our regiment received grain cutters, cooks and bridge laying drivers. The diver looked especially ridiculous among the endless sands from horizon to horizon.
