US Special Forces bringback - OEF

This is a Russian belt that was graciously given to me by an active US 7th Group Special Forces operator. He has been in Afghanistan twice.. I would call him an acquaintance rather than a friend (I'm not high speed enough to roll with him)....

At any rate, he stated he had pulled this off a "still warm" Taliban KIA (one of many) that his team dispatched on a particular mission in 2008. He described the location as out in the middle of nowhere.

This operator was also awarded the Silver Star for action during that tour. He carried a wounded team member (on his shoulder) out of an ambush site under heavy direct fire. He took a shot in the ACH and ESAPI right-side plate....he showed me the "lifesavers".

Hi nice pistol belt I m bring back the same from Bosnia

That's an interesting Ruskie piece, the story is cool too,the stuff legends are made of

The legend from CCCP is cool, only the legend

Interesting piece. I wonder if the Talib he acquired the belt from picked it up in a similar matter back in the 1980s...

I wonder if the Taliban in question was very weel informed on the Soviet Union's firm anti religion policy when he thought it'd be a good idea to wear it

Not too mention that many Arab/Muslim countries were firm allies with the Nazi's in their anti-seminite philosphies.
