can you explain the nature of Afghan IEDs and why they were different than historically other IEDs maybe in Iraq or in wars in the90s have you ever um I give you a couple examples I hope they work have you ever taken apart a flashlight yeah like you get at the dollar store it's a plastic casing it's got two batteries in it that's what we call Loop circuit so you took electricity and made a circle in one spot of that Circle you put a switch in another spot of that Circle you put a light bulb and in another spot of that Circle you put Power so when you run those into a a circuit that's your circle and that's how you get light and a light bulb well the battery stays the same right the switch stays the same rather than a light bulb now you've got a blasting cap and explosives that's an Afghan IED very simple you've got a power source you've got a switch which is normally a pressure plate that the victim operates and you've got your main charge it's closed within itself the only thing that's going to disrupt it is if it's taken apart but you can't have signal disrupted
