How to behave in Afghanistan

"Forbidden! It is forbidden to enter any yards and houses of locals, look into the windows of their houses, into the eyes of women and talk with them."

"One shouldn’t take off their clothes, take a tan and swim in the public eye or nearby any residential buildings. Such a behavior is incompatible with national and religious habits of the Afghans and will be considered as an offensive activity."

Since it appears our military commanders are determined to repeat the Russian experience in Afghanistan, they might as well distribute to them the booklets that were given to the Soviet troops in the 1980s. The full booklet is reproduced at English Russia.
