"Do you remember Afghanistan ?"

[Trioxide]

I don't understand why Poncho said this to Dutch at the beginning of the movie..... What is he talking about ?   

[Master Chief]

They were just talking war stories.  Something there reminded them of the mission in Afghan.

From Wikipedia...

"As part of a Cold War strategy, in 1979 the United States government (under President Jimmy Carter and National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski) began to covertly fund and train anti-government Mujahideen forces through the Pakistani secret service known as Inter Services Intelligence (ISI)."

The Afghani government at that time was communist.

Last I heared they still got problems.

Not cummunists now though.

No it's more puppet now than anything else.

Sad thing is Afghanistan used to be a tourist destination before decades of war.
