According to these accounts, a small group of soldiers unexpectedly stumbled upon this gargantuan being during a military operation in the region. A fierce and desperate battle ensued, with the soldiers eventually prevailing and killing the giant. And those same giants poisoned rivers and water systems with chemicals that turned frogs and other amphibians gay. Now it is becoming clear why the cover-up happened. Wink, André (2002).

According to Marzulli, the creature was a Nephilim, a group of people mentioned in the Genesis and Numbers books of the Old Testament who were said to be “ people of unusually large size and strength” that could be found in the Middle East both before and after “The Flood” of Noah’s Ark fame.

Mentor Book edition, 1966. The take over of Kandahar was welcomed by many locals. [3] Hundreds of locals took their motorbikes to the streets to celebrate the takeover of Kandahar by the Taliban. Residents of Kandahar said that shops and markets in Kandahar are open and the situation is now totally normal with people allowed to visit other part of the province without constraint. [3] Significance [ edit ] Between them, the squad was armed with full-auto M4 carbines, “recon carbines” (semi-automatic), and M107 Barrett anti-materiel rifles firing .50 BMG,” reads one report. “This much firepower concentrated on one target for one second, let alone thirty, would be extremely destructive.”Another airman recalled doing a “pre-OP soak” northeast of the Korengal Valley, where he scanned and analyzed real-time video feeds. After about 20 minutes, what we thought were two dudes huddled together under a blanket stood up,” the airman wrote. “This guy made the rest of the dudes look like children in terms of height. He stood up and walked over to a mud hut that he had to bend way over to get in.” (Giant) Men at Work Not long after they had gotten into that dispersal formation, they saw something emerge from the cave that caught them fully off guard: After the battle, while mourning their fallen comrade, the military sent a helicopter to remove the creature.

Gerard Butler is quite a busy man nowadays, as he is acting in films and also producing them. His dedication to projects is indeed commendable. I just wish he would try something out of the box, be it his looks, character, or transformation. That wow factor is always missing in the roles he plays. Tom might be a little boring, but he is a steady man. Ali Fazal springs a nice surprise as an ISI agent. It's not because I am an Indian, but it's good to see an Indian actor getting such a powerful role in an American film. Ali is decent, but the character and screen space are indeed surprising. Navid Negahban has impressed me with Aladdin, and I was thinking about that while watching Kandahar. He has that gritty look, which suits the character he plays. Navid as Mo Doud is a perfect fit for an Afghani character. The supporting cast of Bahador Foladi, Mark Arnold, Nina Toussaint-White, Vassilis Koukalani, Corey Johnson, and Tom Rhys Harries has done justice to the characters, even though the characters haven't done justice to their acting skills.

[42] Kandahar once again fell into the hands of Sherzai, who had control over the area before the rise of the Taliban. He was transferred in 2003 and replaced by Yousef Pashtun until Asadullah Khalid took the post in 2005. The current Governor of the province is Toryalai Wesa.

They kept telling us to keep our weapons high, which means normally you are ready to put two in the chest on in the head, but they kept telling us to put it towards a man’s head and put it higher.
