Yes... that's the unfortunate outcome of people who just don't give enough of a shit to stop and think...
Nothing yet, so Ijust hope we Canadians are going it right...

I don't think it's fair to say that the Afghan people don't want help and the Taliban can't be allowed to take control of the country. That said my brother in Afghanistan has said that he doesn't always receive a warm welcome. Sorry, I don't mean to start a debate here. It's a great picture though.

Of course not when stuff like this [link] happens. It's unfortunate but would trust anyone if the roles switched.

each small "pixel" on the camouflage, at a distance of 200m is approximately the same size as pixels on some night vision goggles, rendering you "invisible" to night vision aids... tis what ive been told atleast.
