Afghanistan - Part 1
For this visit, Dr. Danger wisely forgoes the call of the wilderness to focus on political and humanitarian issues. In the first of two episodes, Bob looks at the local conflict through the eyes of two American soldiers, joining them on air patrols, interactions with locals, and a mission to incinerate a suspicious marijuana crop. In the second episode, Bob meets staffers from World Vision and Save the Children and accompanies them to some of Afghanistan’s most remote and unstable regions.
