Totally believable.

I just finished reading "Three Cups of Tea" about American mountaineer  
Greg Mortenson who spearheaded the building or more than 50 schools  
for girls in the Karakoram and other remote Pakistani and Afghan  
mountain villages.

Had I not read this book, I would have been shocked at the video, but  
even a cursory understanding of the mountain history and culture  
allows one to understand what it takes to survive in this environment.

And for sure, the war in Afghanistan is far from - if ever - over.
