L.A. vets — that's veterinarians — in Afghanistan


"Nightline" did a nice feature last night on the 40th Infantry Division Agribusiness Development Team from the California National Guard, on duty in Afghanistan helping the locals keep their goats, sheep and cows — and even a monkey — healthy. "Our mission is to strengthen the government's relationship with the people through the foundation of their livelihood which is agriculture," said Lt. Robert Parry, the unit's PIO. If you recognize that name, he's the Robert Parry who has worked in L.A. public relations, blogged about Monrovia and local politics, and who served at least one tour in Iraq and Kuwait. He used to comment here as BobfromPlaya back in the day as is on Facebook, where he says the connection is so slow he hasn't yet watched the video.

There might be a short ad at the front of the video.
