"Are you crazy?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
My friends' concerns were foremost in my mind as I boarded Turkish Air Flight 706 in December bound for Kabul, Afghanistan. Just a month earlier, the U.S. Department of State had warned citizens against travel to Afghanistan: "The security situation in Afghanistan is extremely unstable and the threat to all U.S. citizens in Afghanistan
remains critical."
Although apprehensive, I was honored to be invited to join a small delegation for a 10-day, person-to-person visit with the Afghan Peace Volunteers (APV).

Thanks for sharing a stirring travel commentary COL Mikel J. Burroughs. Afghanistan is one area that probably is not at the top of Frommer's travel guide destinations.
