Description
A commission for HumanSVDThis pic is actually based of a real event that happened to the guy. Currently, he's been over there for about 4 months, and has another 2 left before he comes back home. Currently, he is stationed in Bagram, which is about 50 miles from Kabul. His job is to protect the workers in the area from the Taliban. From this pic, one morning, a bunch of rockets started hitting his camp, and the C-RAM's (The big gun you see), started shooting them down. HumanSVD had to rush to a safe spot as the C-RAM's did there job. No one was hurt, and the Attackers left as quickly as they attacked. But other then that, Here's some bad ass art I made based off the morning attack. Enjoy c:

Always good to be reminded just how much the Taliban sucks, on another note it sounds like he dodged one hell of a barrage.
(and I'm guessing the explosions in the pic are a little exaggerated,

A little, but by much : P
so far, no one at the camp has died. And he says they are a bit lucky that the Taliban that throw mortars and rockets at them, don't really know how to use them correctly. SO they have to get close, and even then still end up missing. The C-RAMS (The gun in the pic) help a lot too. Those things just shoot them down before getting too close. Sure a few still hit the ground, but they are misses more then non. This attack happened on a morning, and a few RAMS went off. other then that, no deaths or injuries c:

(saw the typo) Yeah, I gathered there would still be some authenticity to the explosions, I've seen tapes of WWI trench mortars and the explosives on MythBusters, still very nasty either way.
It's nice to hear that they're doing so well in such a hostile environment, I hope to live to see the day when/if this kind of crap ends. :/

It won't end, I know that for sure. Stuff like this will continue until we as a species are gone.

I saw that response coming, violent disagreements - little and large -Β are hardwired into our brains as a speciesΒ after all.
Wishful thinking aside, maybe one day it will be reduced to an infrequent occurrence if we play our cards right,Β rather than entire countries being taken over by religious extremists and zealots.

Got to say it's badass, my favorite so far. They are probably going to go crazy on Sept 11th, they shot a mortar near us and nothing went off, not even the c-rams. We think it was a test run.
