FORT BRAGG — The longest war in American history hasn't been perfect. With a failed surge, uncooperative puppet president, and a determined enemy, frustration runs deep in the Department of Defense. But one battalion intelligence officer has had enough.

Capt. Peter Stepanski, intelligence officer for 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, says he's angry with the ignorance, laziness and inability to retain basic knowledge about a combat zone the U.S. Army has been fighting in since 2001.

"I don't know how many times I have to tell people, Afghani is Afghanistan currency and Afghans are the people of Afghanistan," Stepanski said. The intelligence officer went on to describe other nuances the soldiers fail to pick up, such as the Afghan concept of honor and shame, the role of women in Afghan society, and picking the toilet seat up before urinating in the Battalion bathroom.
