Didn't they find some WWI tanks in Afghanistan a few years ago?

There’s a picture of one in a junkyard in Jabul at the article I linked in post #1. Lots of countires have left their military refuse in Afghanistan.

I know an SF guy who’s done several tours in Afghanistan. He told me there are places so remote that when they went there the tribesmen thought they were Soviets. They never knew the Russians had left. Other places even further off the beaten path had never seen an outsider in the memory of anyone living. They had completely missed the events of the last 30 years—Russian invasion, Taliban, everything.
