Despite an increase in violence, there are about 200 more applicants than last year, and the quality of this pool keeps improving as the Afghan education system continues its recovery from Taliban repression.

Krajeski News from Kabul, 17 September 2006
Written by Paul Krajeski

Johnny "Mike" Spann was the first American killed in combat after 9/11. He was attacked by Taliban prisoners during an uprising at the Qala-e-Jangi fortress near Mazar-e-Sharif on 25 November 2001. My team and I recently visited the site where Mike died and hundreds of Taliban prisoners were subsequently killed. We felt a sense of awe and respect for the dead as we reflected upon what happened there. The Afghan government has since erected a memorial to Mike right where the unfortunate event unfolded (see photo). It is a quiet, lonely place.
