This picure of tired and wore out soldiers was taken the night of our first attempt to leave Kyrgyzstan and fly to Afghanistan. We were all loaded up on the cargo plane with all our gear, strapped in and ready for the 45 minute flight. Sat on the flightline in our get up for over an hour with assurances that what ever the problem was, would be fixed. Finally they had us deplane, then set us up in the tent pictured. It was around one in the morning when I took this picture. An hour later they sent us back to the lodging we were in from before, when the flight crew admitted defeat and realized the plane wasn't going to be taking off anytime soon. We finally flew out two days later.
