Afghan Army - High Times (and not in the good way!)
Thanks to my favourite daily Blog digest - Boing Boing - for this glorious find. Here's a nice little piece on the 'recreational' military activities of the Afghan Army...
Thank again to Boing Boing (who's post resides here) and to Wired's Defence News where the article originally appeared as 'Getting High Before a Firefight? Bad Idea, Dude' - I recommend reading it.
Having watched this a couple of times now - and the eagle eyed among you with have spotted this - it's not actually the guy's AK magazine that get's shot out (it's clearly i the AK a few seconds later)...
As a matter of fact, this guys had a much closer call than the narrator credits him, as the bit that flies off when hit is the AK's receiver cover (which rests right next to the soldiers face)!!!
