""Hey, we want you to go out alone and find this guy." I didn't know I could say no. I didn't know other guys said no cuz it was too dangerous."
John McPhee on the Mike Drop podcast recalls being ordered to travel alone to “find this guy” in Afghanistan. He says he did not realise he could refuse, doubted promises of cover, and describes moving through safe houses and hitchhiking towards Tora Bora.
