Afghanistan from Above

Another sequence of footage I shot from Operation Enduring Freedom covering 2003-2004 in Afghanistan. The large carved open areas with caves at the end of the clip once held the ancient Bamiyan Buddha statues that the Taliban destroyed in 2001. Edited to "Deep Blue Day" by Brian Eno.

Camera = Canon XL1

All religions are interpreted on an individual basis, people. This is not what the video is about. If you all think your religion is better than the others, talk about it somewhere else. This man is not preaching to anyone. Why preach on his page? He just shoots great vids and shares them with you. DAMN, This is why we all hate each other?

@CertifiedAsian262 That one is beyond my experience level, but I would suggest the ROTC route so that you have the most amount of time in actual officer training and military science courses with constant access to knowledgeable NCOs and Officers, and you can get a lot of additional training opportunities along the way regardless of degree if college is your first choice vs. the enlisted route. I would look at the recruiting section of the forums at armyranger [dot] com

@G3SM hey If i want to join airborne rangers what majors should i focus on? like p1ty21 if it all matters.

[G3SM]

@P1ty21 In the Army your best bet to be a pilot is actually Warrant Officer, which does not require a degree, might want to look into that first. As for commissioning, it doesn't truly matter for the commissioning route, but I'm sure an aeronautical engineering type degree wouldn't hurt you in the long run.
