Ever hear of the Giant of Kandahar (Afghanistan)?

[Triggered Fridgekin]

If David could stun Goliath with a shitty sling then automatic weapons would have it turned to in to dust...

... which is why they can't prove it due to the arid location... checks out.

They also had 7.62's and .50s according to the vid, why a random patrol is carrying an anti material rifle is beyond me.

To prevent a sequel, I guess.

At least it's not Kentaro Miura

No one knows who that is.

[Calfredd]

Taken away like my underpants by those damn gnomes! There's one less pair every time I do the wash.

My driving teacher in high school looked almost exactly like him.

[satimy]

Ive always found the Battle of Los Angelos to be very fascinating

[dr2022]

Did they give him an Islamic sea burial and that's why they don't have pics of it?

My questions after watching this video are the following.

1. Why are all of these weird, mysterious things happening in America? You don't hear about British troops encountering this stuff. You don't hear about UFOs crashing in Germany and the government rushing out to seize the area. How likely is it that America is the only place this stuff happens, and are the only ones who encounter the super natural? Not likely - at all.

2. The video mentions the nephalim, like right off the bat. Then continues on with "if it goes against evolution, they hide it, if it proves the bible, they hide it"

This is a clear ulterior agenda. And when you have a higher agenda, you're going to be biased. When you're biased, you aren't factual. So, at BEST this story isn't factual. But more likely is that it isn't true at all.

Until other countries start having similar experiences, i'm going to treat this the way the common public treats it - its entertainment. It goes on entertainment television, it entertains peoples love for the unknown.

I mean what is the difference between a folk tale and propaganda?

A folk tale is "this happened"

Propaganda is "this happened, and heres why"

You start off with the disguise that this happened but the story quickly shifts focus to the "why". The question of why is not yet a question, we first have to determine if it even happened. Jumping to the 'why' is revealing your hand to everyone - you're interested in pushing the agenda, not the truth.

[Hammerfest]

You don't know much about the Bible, do you?

David and the Goliath are from the Old Testament, aka, Judaism. Specifically, the Books of Samuel.

Old Testament is both Judaism and Christianity.

Kandahar is a province in Afghanistan.

Kandahar is a province in Afghanistan.

Yes but 99% happen in America, and if they don't happen in America, they happen to Americans. They don't go back to Kandahar to investigate, they just interview people in America.

Its like wtf

[Hammerfest]

Yes but 99% happen in America, and if they don't happen in America, they happen to Americans.

I don't agree with that statistic. There's stuff happening all over the world, including dead fairies in Mexico, strange lights in the Russian sky... the list goes on.

They don't go back to Kandahar to investigate, they just interview people in America.

Give it time. The logical place to start would be with the people you have at hand. This investigation is far from over.

Its like wtf

Only if you don't actually look around.

People are going to waste resources investigating something that never happened?

It is not like Afghanistan is an ideal holiday destination, they should have picked somewhere nicer to make up a story about if they intend to investigate it, like St Lucia or somewhere.

[DeltrusDisc]

Old Testament is both Judaism and Christianity.

Yes, I'm aware, but the person who I was quoting made it out to seem like Judaism wasn't at all involved, when they were in fact the ones who wrote the Old Testament - most of Christianity only looks at the Old Testament now historically as a "let's not do too much of this again..." At least that's how I interpret it. Not trying to start a religious discussion, though!

Wasting resources in Afghanistan is a common trend, duh.

Did this giant have body armor? Otherwise those soldiers suck.

<---Was in Khandahar

Edit: That dude in the hoody does not sound (talk) like any vet I know. 2 in the chest 1 in the head is movie shit. He sounds full of it.

Otherwise, interesting campfire story. I am fond of Nessie myself and hope to god it is real.

I preferred to say a shit load to the everywhere when I was active duty.

He didn't have to. Most people understand that Christianity has its roots in Judaism.

A lot of people who call themselves Christians do dismiss the Old Testament as you say. It might even be most of them, I don't know.

[Garnier Fructis]

It's embarrassing that we're a country where people actually believe this nonsense.

[Hammerfest]

For fuck sake... I won't even watch that nonsense.

Oh okay bye!

[Unholyground]

Considering religion is fantasy like my DnD group, this is definitely bs sorry true believers.

[Heladys]

What is with people that they like this kind of obvious bullshit?
