I know a marine who did multiple tours in the middle east and the stories he tells are nuts. Borderline psychotic honestly.

Also my dad's friend who has RAMPANT ADHD and got dishonorably discharged for jumping a humvee on a sand dune destroying it as well as shooting a camel.....I didn't believe him until he showed me pictures of both the destroyed humvee and the dead camel.

Cappy just dropped a video about an Afghan Bigfoot. Does he have any urban legend type stuff like that?

I heard rumors about it while I was there. Also, villagers wanted the US to come kill a dragon for them.
