    okay, graffitti from the taliban


    Graffiti left behind by Taliban fighters remains on the walls of a compound now used as a command center for the U.S Marine Corps's First Battalion, Eighth Marines at Musa Qala in southern Afghanistan's Helmand province, November 10, 2010. Musa Qala is an important battleground in the war against Taliban insurgents and the narcotics industry. The town has changed hands several times, most recently in December 2007 when Afghan and international forces retook the town from the Taliban.

    Coming well after a spate of Quixotic attacks against coalition bases in Afghanistan — including Bagram Air Field, Kandahar Air Field and Camp Salerno in Khost — where suicide squads of Taliban fighters donned Army Combat Uniforms (or look-alikes) in hopes of getting that much further inside the wire, the Coalition command in Kabul has declared ACUs “sensitive cargo” that must be transported by air into the country rather than overland.

    US Sgt. Tyrone is who Chuck Norris calls when he gets a boo boo. Hell, he's the one everyone calls. He's getting a real fan club on here.

    Αs I said before, in the figure of Sgt Tyrone we must also show respect to all those other medics who don't have a camera crew near by but also do as great job as Tyrone
