Your Tax Dollar at Work

Filed under Thoughts |

Initially, when I saw these three images, I thought something like ‘COOL’ but when I thought again a bit later - like 10 seconds - I realized how weird this is.

There they are, soldiers in Afghanistan, nothing to do and getting bored. What do they do? That what they like best if possible. But I guess there are restrictions on what you can do when you are stationed in enemy land. You probably can’t really find a Michael’s to buy your art supplies even if you are an artist in urgent need for self-expression.

So, what do you do? - You use what’s available!

And what’s available to a soldier overseas in enemy country? Obviously things like planes and helicopters and paint and …

I guess this is how these birds were created.

Helicopter as Hawk

Helicopter as Hawk too

Helicopter as Hawk flying

I would prefer if they would come back home and do this on their own time and money, but then again, as long as they think they can not come home it might be better to waste some of my money than having them go insane over there.
