A lot of places are much worse than these pictures.
Afghanistan is a horrible place
When they talk about having Burger Kings etc this is only on the two main bases there . If you are not on the main bases or your job takes you off the bases it is really horrible in some of the more remote areas.
Something really doesn’t make sense here.
If one isn’t able to maintain adequate food and water supplies, then Burger Kings really aren’t an issue. If Burger King is having to be shut down by policy , then the problems aren’t with logistics, but with discipline.
