I don't get these higher ups that take booze, women, and now even simply smoking a cigarette away from young men in a high stress environment. They need to decompress-look at the high rate of PTSD in Iraq/Afghanistan veterans. Vietnam was similar with an unseen enemy in plain sight during the day but they at least had R&R in country and were allowed to cut loose.
The CG at Al Asad ordered the chowhalls to serve the same kind of food to replace the Burger King and other vendors but free to the Marines. It was awesome...

__ staffed by thai women
Technically the are Asians... But no oriental asians... More like from the "stans" asian.. Kazakhstan.... Kyrgyzstan etc.. Etc... I was there fore 2 or 3 weeks back in 09 i think
This is super awesome. I hope other bases are like this
Hard to imagine your in the middle of a war? Because your on a Airforce Base🙄
It's not an Air Force Base dumb fuck.....
I was there from 2016 to 2017. It was an experience, but it seems they moved a lot of the stuff around since this was made.
I bet someone their said “patrolling the registan almost makes you wish for winter”
imaging living at some backwater outpost in the middle of nowhere for 6 months then coming back to this, burger king must've looked like a fucking 5 star restaurant.
There was a rumor in my unit at Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo that supposedly if you asked the ladies in the laundry shop for "extra starch" it was code for sexual favors. Never found out, didn't want to. I don't get these higher ups that take booze, women, and now even simply smoking a cigarette away from young men in a high stress environment. They need to decompress-look at the high rate of PTSD in Iraq/Afghanistan veterans. Vietnam was similar with an unseen enemy in plain sight during the day but they at least had R&R in country and were allowed to cut loose.
The hairdressers were Russian prostitutes
Bagram the BEAST. Ahh, the memories.
Wow how badass is that you have an female holding an m4 rifle that just got her nails done. That scene is as American as it gets 😂😂
Siddharth Rane thank u brotha 🇮🇳
damn that place is beautiful in its own way
The General was right, the POGs all lost their collective minds however.
Been there... done that... three times.
Bruh imagine getting a job at Popeyes and you get shipped to Afghanistan
lol I love how all of the cars there are pickups or suvs
"Storm haircut place, they cant cut all our hair" 2:14
The CG at Al Asad ordered the chowhalls to serve the same kind of food to replace the Burger King and other vendors but free to the Marines. It was awesome...
they even let E40 on the base @3:37
i bet them massages are BUSSIN
Wow didn't know the air base had these shops
Was there in 2014. The Warrior, Disney, the DFACs... good memories.
I remember landing in Tarin Kowt Afghanistan and thinking what the hell am I doing here. There wasn't a lot there but we made our individual spots into our home away from home.
Are you the same J C from cas's streams?
@@toad3222 not sure what you are talking about 😉
God damn I want yell “GOOD MORNING AFGHANISTAN” into that radio mic
A wise gentleman once said "Welcome to Anytown, USA"
Popeye's? Pop.... eye's?.... OMFG they've got a fucking Popeye's?! I would be stuffing a pouch on my ruck with chicken strips like they were shutting down the next day. MRE's sure, cool. But MRE's with that little bit extra? Oh hell fucking yes.
I pray for all our soldiers
so sad they shut those stores and restaurants down that looks like the perfect chill out zone after battle :(
I would not waste my money on that "jewelry"
Shoutout to those who remember the pizza place that used hotdogs as "sausages" in Bagram.
Freedom radio XD
well this video gonna be in history book
Then there's the Marine FOBs with a latrine and maybe a mortar pit if they're lucky.
Nah, they like it that way. Makes them tougher
Barely any marines in Afghanistan. All the bitches are in the big bases. The small bases are where the wars are won.
Yeah using wag bags with an ammo crate
Michael Gatti you know this isn’t a FOB? This is a huge central base. Marines aren’t the only ones who live like shit. Watch RESTREPO
@@CPTAwesome9000 did i say it was a fob
Brings back memories during the Clark Air Force Base days in the PI. The only difference is you don't get shot at when you get off base.
You were stationed at Clark? And by the way, there are no similarities between BAF & Clark.
@@melfisher1683 agree
They’re all just reskinned, as well as hiding NPC’s in the mix.
Amazing Documentary
Meanwhile we get a hut in the middle of the dessert
I call this place heaven
Yeah, waiting for spa and hair saloon with sandals while slinging m4 in the middle of warzone, comfy
They could film a really cool tv show, the base is the perfect set
merica
I have a lot of souvenirs from those shops. Stuff that’s borderline nice looking and kinda functional, but you can tell it’s made there.
May look comfy but it takes one rocket propelled grenade to kill many on the base. Support our troops. Y’all are thought of here at home.
Awesome logistics -Thanks for your ( Shopping ) service ! Loi
And today the Taliban won
Yes, Glory to Islam
Man good old Bagram I miss 2015
The way he says bagrams air base irks me
I swear i wanna choke him
and it was BAF (Bagram Air Field)
1:41 he forgot to say No Pun intended
