trophies from AFG
There was a WW1 Ford Light Tank outside the FOB in Spin Boldak. I mentioned the location to a friend who was in Kandahar, and got a correct but direct Forget About It response. Fight the enemy - not collect souvenirs.
Skip ahead a few years. There was a story going around in the US armor (sic) publications that the tank had been recovered to the US as a gift from the Afghans to the Americans.
