Gen Sayar died yesterday in a helicopter crash. He is the top Afghan General for the area I am in. I met the General on two separate occasions and he was a very good man. We have had a close relationship with the General due to us training and working with his soldiers, he was very appreciative of what we were doing to improve the fighting ability of his men and gave us whatever we needed to outfit and train these soldiers. I have added a link below to this story. Keep in mind they fly around in old Soviet helicopters, I have personally flown on these antiques a few times. looking at the weather yesterday while we were out there is no way I would have gotten on a helicopter. The cloud cover was down to about 200 ft above the ground and it was as thick as soup. Just goes to show his dedication to what he was doing. He was one of the good guys over here, the uncorruptable, and he will be missed by his men and his country.

ReplyDeleteWell said. He was a great leader among so many soldiers who just didnt seem to care what happens to their country. I am attaching a youtube link to a story about part of his life.
