Interesting trip down memory lane. I actually have some of the original photos from some of the Afghanistan articles, since my organization sent some of the people who wrote them, like David Isby, to the Pakistani/Afghan border.
There is a bit of self-awareness to be found in some places. There's a 1984 article on a botched attempt to recruit and train people to overthrow Desi Bouterse's regime in Surinam "The Dogs of War"-style. The author specifically describes one of the other Americans as looking like the kind of guy who buys everything advertised in the back of Soldier of Fortune.
