Per my last blog, here are some civillians just driving throught the training. Note the humvees in the background. All I can say is that this is a totally different experience out here.
Below is an old Russian tank. When they left Afghanistan, they left everything. There are remnants of them everywhere. In fact one of the other American bases here is an old Russian base. The buildings are old and quite odd looking. The history, here while rich, has been infiltrated by conquerers and dictators for hundreds of years. From Alexander the Great to Ghengis Khan to The Russians to the U.S.?
These last two views show an old Russian outpost. No, not thousand year old ruins. These walls were apparently built by the Russians during their time here in Afghanistan. Us marching in the foreground.
Beautiful mountain ranges and a better view of the outpost.
