The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) lists 29 official restrictions currently effecting women in their country, including bans on cosmetics and even entering any sports clubs, let alone participating in sports-related activities. So who can say what was going through the mind of the US Army personnel who thought up the idea of bringing cheerleaders into Afghanistan to entertain the troops. Someone in charge of these decisions must have recently seen the uncut version of Apocalypse Now and liked the tertiary plot of playboy bunny heroin addicts keeping the soldiers entertained (?) during monsoon season. Is this why more troops are being sent there, to protect american cheerleaders from being stoned to death?
