CSI Combat: I’ll have to email this dispatch to Gary Sinise, a star in CSI New York. Gary will probably get a kick out of this considering how many times he’s gone to Iraq and Afghanistan.
NDS is the Afghan National Directorate for Security. It’s the rough equivalent of a synthesis between the FBI and CIA. They have a pretty solid reputation with our people for getting the job done.

They’ve even got lasers. And not the puny ones.
