He veers off the road, winding over a hill, past some water tanks. His Guardian Angel a 19-year-old bodyguard fresh out of basic and his interpreter stay close, but Brent is among friends. Guys tell stories, lean in for selfies and play American music for each other on their phones. Down the hill, a few Afghans take tea at a tiny table beside the path.
