Alexander the Great

fought a counter-insurgency

in Afghanistan that lasted

almost three years.

And by the end of those years,

he was drinking heavily

and completely paranoid.

One night, he got into a row

with a guy named Cleitus

the Black, a loyal friend.

Cleitus accused him

of certain things

and Alexander threw a spear

into his heart.

As he watched his friend die,

he lost his mind.

Five years later,

Alexander was dead.

As the Afghans say:

you might have the clocks,

but we've got the time.
