10. Faizabad
Located on the northeast part of Afghanistan, Faizabad was historically remote due to bad road connections, which has helped to its local culture intact. To the present day two bazaars still function in Faizabad where they trade diverse items like cotton cloth and cutlery and provisions like tea, sugar and salt. Part of the historic architecture is in ruins, but other forts, mosques and shrines are still intact and tell the history of the region.
09. Jalalabad
Jalalabad, in the eastern part of the country, is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Afghanistan thanks to the large green areas and surrounding water. It was an outpost for Ahmad Shah Durrani, the founder of modern Afghanistan, who used the city during his military campaigns in India. The architecture in Jalalabad is beautiful, from the Mausoleum of King Amanullah Khan to mosques and the Nangarhar University.

Every Thursday the weekly market takes place, an ancient traditional activity still preserved.

A&P Opportunities, My Experience in Afghanistan
This is when I was in Afghanistan back in 2011-2012. Saw some very interesting things on my adventures.
Afghanistan Deployment (Bagram)
I created this video while I was deployed to Afghanistan from May-Dec 2010. We were celebrating the Air Force's 64th Birthday. I put together a bunch of action shots from everyone on base, and because Bagram is a joint environment, this video captures warriors from our fellow brother and sister services as well. Watch closely and you will see a bunch of FSS activities taking place.

Kanduz Afghanistan Airstrike by U S Was a War Crime - Medecins Sans Front - YouTube
**** Re-post due to audio issues in previous upload****
Under the clear presumption that a war crime has been committed, MSF demands that a full and transparent investigation into the event be conducted by an independent international body, MSF General Director Christopher Stokes said in a statement.
Battles were still raging on Sunday around Kunduz, a city of 300,000, as government forces backed by U.S. air power sought to drive out the Taliban militants who seized the city almost a week ago in one of their biggest victories in the 14-year war.
Decomposing bodies littered the streets and trapped residents said food was becoming scarce.
****According to MSN Money, Halliburton’s KBR, Inc. division bilked government agencies to the tune of $17.2 billion in Iraq war-related revenue from 2003-2006 alone. This is estimated to comprise a whopping one-fifth of KBR’s total revenue for the 2006 fiscal year. The massive payoff is said to have financed the construction and maintenance of military bases, oil field repairs, and various infrastructure rebuilding projects across the war-torn nation. This is just the latest in a long string of military/KBR wartime partnerships, thanks in no small part to Dick Cheney’s former role with the parent company.

None has benefited more than KBR, once known as Kellogg Brown and Root. The controversial former subsidiary of Halliburton, which was once run by Dick Cheney, vice-president to George W. Bush, was awarded at least $39.5bn in federal contracts related to the Iraq war over the past decade.
