Yes. I've gotten ****-faced and passed out in his computer chair. I have not done so with any Pakistani civilians. But even more than that, as much as I don't want America to be propping up corrupt governments in Afghanistan, we are at the moment, and if I sit at home, letting people like my friends fight my literal battles for me -- whether I agree with those battles or not -- then I can't in good conscience say, "Alright, you can go risk your life, but I'd feel guilty about it if you did this to minimize that risk. So... good luck with not dying, brosef."
