An Embedded Reporter's Excellent Afghanistan Diary
 

"This trip has been one of the most grueling and demanding physically that I have ever done, in probably the most inhospitable place in the world. The Helmand Desert, known as the Desert of Death, average temperature 47 degrees Celsius, 126 degrees Fahrenheit. In the afternoon heat being in the sun is like feeling yourself being cooked from the inside. Add body armor and Kevlar helmets, and after a few minutes simply walking became a Herculean task."
