This week on Curious Orange …

It’s part two of our series on the Dutch in Afghanistan - “Just Doing My Job”.

We’ll hear stories of soldiers working, fighting, and rebuilding in Afghanistan… including the guy who walks in front of the trucks - scanning for road-side bombs, a police officer who volunteered to go to Uruzgan to train Afghan police troops, a civilian who goes off-base to help Afghan farmers - without helmet, flak-jacket, weapon or any military presence, an “infidel-helping” interpreter, and an army photographer who had to put down his camera to pick up - and use - his gun.

Listen to the whole show here.

Read more about the individual stories and listen to longer versions here:

The bomb-finding engineer

The volunteer police trainer

The army photographer

The interpreters

The civilian helping Afghan farmers
