Can't believe I get paid for this...

So, Here I am in Kona, HI. Here on business, but still. This place is pretty chill. Good views and some real good food. Didn't get to do all that much since work took up most of the time but I did get a couple of photos and had a generally good time. On the unfortunate side, General Stanley McChrystal was relieved of command. While I am happy that Petraeus is the new Honcho, I am disappointed that McChrystal is gone. I think his capability and use of the COIN doctrine was having effect on the ground. I am not going to go into details, but lets say that I think that General Mattis would have this wrapped up quick. Probably piss a whole lot of people off. But the situation would be resolved. Anywho, here are some pics from Big Island.
