Afghan soldier's graves
Originally uploaded by gaikokujinkyofusho
In my travels (here in Afghanistan) I have seen tons of these “graves”, sometimes they are intricate little mausoleums other times they are a pile of rocks, but they always have green flags (or rags) flying for those killed during combat (bystanders that are killed apparently don’t count). One kind of gets accustomed to seeing all these graves but if you stop to think about it then it becomes pretty sobering.
