Afghanistan, 1960’s
I remember driving by endless trains of M1 Abrams tanks being loaded onto ships at the port of Oakland in March of 2001, and no one said anything.
This video will always represent what peak Cold War aesthetic is all about.
In lieu of recent events.

Afghanistan: The eternal war.
When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Afghanistan: Where Empires go to die.
