With the obvious adage of OPSEC in consideration here, I am curious to hear what others from around the world have seen in Afghanistan on their travels there. I just finished up a year long tour and am currently on the way home. I was in Sharana, south east Afghanistan.

If you've got some more "random shots" you now know where to find an appreciative audience for them!

That is some really nice variety there. By the way, those An-12's with rear mounted turrets must really be old?
