Watch a first-hand account of the widespread corruption; get an inside look at the drug trade, rampant child sex abuse, and ever-present Taliban control. All these elements make Afghanistan one of the most frightening and unstable places on earth.
We touch down in Kabul and are treated to Taliban hospitality on the first night: a suicide bomb at a neighboring hotel interrupts a pleasant night's sleep. After kicking around pieces of the suicide bomber with local kids, we meet General Farooq Assas, head of the Afghan National Police Force, the kids who are being trained to police the country. At the end of the day, we drink moonshine with an ex-Mujahideen who has a thing for young boys. And they said Kabul would be heavy.

Afghan National Army soldiers with 1st Kandak, 1st Brigade, 215th Corps, and Marines with 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, patrol through the Nawa district to promote confidence in Afghan security. The security forces participating in the 30-mile, four-day patrol heard gunfire in the distance on the first day. ANA soldiers and Afghan Local Police aided by Marines patrolled several hundred meters into the desert to contact the enemy and provide security for local residents. The insurgents fled once Coalition forces arrived at their position and the patrol through Nawa continued. Video by Cpl. Jeff Drew.

Known to US soldiers as the Valley of Death, it's been the scene of the some of the most intense fighting in the war in Afghanistan.
After years of intense fighting, the US has left its remote outpost in the Korengal Valley, in the country's east.
Al Jazeera's James Bays has more on the move, which the US calls a re-positioning of forces, but which the Taliban has declared a US defeat.
