The Afghan "negotiation phase" immediately precedes the traditional Afghan "surrender phase. " This entails the following: The defeated party surrenders and then comes out shooting. This is repeated several times. Finally, the vanquished party runs out of ammunition and is forced to surrender ' but seriously this time ' at which point the victors kill the foreigners and hug their fellow Afghans like long-lost brothers.
I was really inspired by this feeling of mania, a caricature of myself that I look down upon and see negatively.
