Funny, I never saw a single Canadian while I was in AFG. Brits, Aussies and Romanians everywhere, though.

Of course, some people are assigned for longer periods.
And this is why private contractors, especially construction and security, will have jobs 20 years from now.

Shit, the last US DoS employee to work a "high threat" post in IRQ/AFG hasn't even been born yet.
