Travel, history, guns, friendly people, what a great vacation spot. Did I mention reasonable prices.

And some folks think global gun control will work.
Where is old Joe when we really need him?  Alaska Independence    Calling Illegal Immigrants "Undocumented Aliens" is like calling Drug Dealers "Unlicensed Pharmacists"

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Yes the women have full body hair, but unless you marry one, or visit the local Karahani you won't see any.  You don't even get to see their eyes, let alone anything else.

Unless they have changed a lot in the past few years, you may not want any contact with the hairy legged women.  In addition to the fact they don't remove body hair, many of them have no concept of "personal hygiene"  and likely smell worst than the goat.

Course that may be OK for you old sailors with that "any port in a storm" attitude, but us old fly-boys are a little more cautious where we house our cargo................

Historically, little has changed there...the Khyber pass has always been " wild and wooly"..and the gun trade has been going on for centuries.
   For years they made hundreds of thousands of British Enfield,  SMLE rifles. Don't know what their favorite to copy now days is...perhaps some version of the AK or SK !
  Back in the seventies they even sent to this country some  copies of the old Sharps rifles.. 
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
