It's bizarre to watch that video. I spent a year there in Helmand. I recognize Kajaki dam and the streets of Lashkar Gah. I must've driven those roads hundreds of times.
One of our interpreters actually grew up there in Lashkar Gah and told us stories of the Taliban and how they would rape boys. He said things had become much better, but we still saw some pretty miserable stuff, even outside of the typical violence, particularly the treatment of women.
