Summary

Like any military campaign, those who fought in Afghanistan grew to understand just how weird things can get in this part of the world. The locals tell tales of giants, jinns, and other creepers of the night. But what is it like to grow up in this region of the world? We speak with a native Afghani on this week's members-only episode who knew from a young age that the ancient grave sites near his hometown were not of mere mortals. Afghanistan is rife with tales of giants. The most famous giant encounter in Afghanistan occurred in 2002 and is the now infamous Kandahar Giant. In the account, a red-haired giant emerged from a cave when encountered by a detachment of U.S. Special Forces. Become a member to learn more about what it's like to grow up in one of the blurriest parts of the world.
