Who was in the Leopard 2? I think the Brits use Challengers and the US Abrams. The Leopards are German and exported to a few countries?!
I think Leopard 2 must have been the callsign. Also, unless I'm mistaken we didnt send any heavy armour to Afghanistan?
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.
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.
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
And Vengaboys is a Dutch band, so the whole thing is a bit of a mishmash.
Brits use Challenger 2. Also, the M1is called the Abrams, not Abraham
