In some countries, donkeys are highly valued. Like Afghanistan: Donkeys are the Afghan helicopter, one colonel told the Washington Post.
Who knew that the end of this war would boil down to donkey contracts? asked one NATO commander. I wasn’t trained for this.

Donkeys in Afghanistan are also know by the American term…Mistresses.
In all truthfulness, some donkeys can be quite affectionate. I hear. Um, I heard. From our guys over there. I got written proof! (Now where is that delete button?)
