      The US had tanks in Afghanistan, I’m not sure about the Brits. They weren’t used nearly as extensively as MATVs/MRAPs but they were there.

        A guy I knew in high school kept talking about using Abrams tanks to clear out the Al-Qaeda cave networks

        I still think about him sometimes

        I hope he fucking died, moron

        I’ve just checked, we (the uk) didn’t deploy heavy armour to Afghanistan. So as funny as the Op is, I feel like it might not be true…

          At least Denmark and Canada had Leopard 2s in Afghanistan that were involved in combat. So maybe the “Brits” were just fancy Canadians.
