why does the u.s. navy have sailors in kabul? it's a landlocked country that is not near any major body of water. i understand that the navy does more than sail ships, but sailors do sail ships, right? or is that just the generic term for anyone who is in the navy even if they do air traffic control or some other non-sea related job?
to be clear: i'm not pose one of those "what were they doing there?" questions as a way to implicitly blame them for their own kidnapping or death. i don't believe that at all. i'm just curious why a sailor would be sent to a country with the geography of afghanistan.
