Changing the Name Does Nothing!

Time to pack the bags and get the vehicle convoys ready to go, there are no more insurgents in Afghanistan.

You read that right. There are no insurgents in Afghanistan. At least according to ISAF.

We are now fighting "enemies of Afghanistan" or EoA's for short. Yep, another damn acronym.

Somebody had the bright idea that we should change our terminology to be more in line with what the Afghans use, or something like that. Having faced many name changes in Iraq I should have seen this coming. I guess I was just hoping that after over a decade of being in the country we'd have our terms sorted out by now.

People just need more bullets for their evaluations though. Working at an echelon above reality continues to amuse me daily.
