| [FoxNews] Elite Taliban unit wearing US gear appears to mock iconic American WWII photo. Propaganda videos show Taliban fighters carrying U.S. and U.S. ally-made weapons. A Taliban fighting unit called the Badri 313 Battalion was spotted patrolling Afghanistan with U.S.-made gear, and posting one photo appearing to mock the iconic World War II photo, Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. Propaganda videos posted this week on channels affiliated with the Taliban show soldiers in the little-known Badri 313 Battalion carrying U.S. and U.S. ally-made weapons and gear that appear to be stolen from allied militaries while patrolling parts of Kabul. In one propaganda photo, members of the Badri 313 Battalion are seen hoisting a Taliban flag in a similar fashion to the six U.S. Marines who raised the U.S. flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. |

| #5 Yeah but that doesn't make them Western warriors. It's rather fascinating to see how the Taliban decked out in mufti and carrying American weapons think they've absorbed the Western way of war. In other words the superstitious primitivism of absorbing their enemies spirit despite 1000 years of Islam |

| #4 It's bizarre to see a bunch of erstwhile goat-molesters all decked out in modern warfighter gear. But I guess that's 2021 for you. |

| #2 Interestingly, the Feb 1945 Mount Suribachi event was followed 6 short months later by events in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. |
