Stolen Bike, Not Valor . Top Story - December 2025.
Koa was riding his new electric bike through the city park not too far from the US Embassy where he served in an Asian country. The ride was a part of his daily evening workout. He didn't really like the idea of an electric bike because he thought it was lazy. Besides, Koa had another good mountain bike he'd bought here used and it gave him a much better workout. But this one was his girlfriend's gift for his 29th birthday that she had taken the trouble to ship to him across the ocean. Koa felt obliged to ride it out at least occasionally, but promised himself not to use the battery. He even took it off the bike, to avoid the temptation.

Where the Dust Never Settles: A Waziristani’s Reflection on a Century of Foreign Wars
I was born in Waziristan, a rugged, beautiful region tucked between the jagged folds of the mountains on Pakistan’s northwest frontier. It’s a place where poetry lives in the same breath as war, and the sound of drone engines is as familiar as the call to prayer. To outsiders, Waziristan is often seen only in headlines—tribal, lawless, extremist.

They say a man only lives one life. I’ve lived three—each born from war, each ending in silence. My name doesn’t matter, not anymore. What matters is what I saw, what I buried, and what I’ve come to understand. I was born in Kunar province in the winter of 1967, in a village that had more goats than people. My earliest memories were of snowfall, my father’s prayers, and the laughter of my brothers echoing in the narrow valleys. We had no electricity, no paved roads, but we had peace. Briefly.

A Life Between Giants: My Story as an Afghan Fighter
1. A War Before I Could Read I was six when the Soviets rolled into Afghanistan in 1979. I didn’t know what communism was, nor did I care.
