In Sangin the toilet is a plastic bag,
the shower is a bottle of water,
and the drinking water is hot.
In Sangin the heat is beyond hot and you live in your sweat.
In Sangin, the dust is everywhere, and everywhere is dust.
In Sangin the humour is hard.
"I’d best brush me teeth in case I have to give mouth to mouth."
In Sangin the Taliban are everywhere and nowhere and you live with that thought.
In Sangin explosions punctuate the day.
In Sangin the troops do reason why, but they spend their time doing and trying not to die.
In Sangin young men lie, face down, inches from bombs, and concentrate hard.
In Sangin, there are better men than I.
And the forces do this day in and day out,
It really is a life changing experience for them
They have earned our respect many times over
