Because they are not allowed onto the U.S. Marine Corps outpost, a group of Afghan boys climb on top of a mud hut so they can see the helicopter arrive carrying Farah province Gov. Rahool Amin, who is travelling to Masow Village to meet with the village elders, or Shura, for the first time ever, Dec. 15, Pusht Rod District, Afghanistan. The elders in attendance were searched and entered the base finding seats on rugs which were laid out inside and around a military tent where the Shura took place.
