>>190322OP here again. That guys name in the photo is Tooth for obvious reasons. Tooth is one of the baddest mother fucker I have ever met. He worked at the U.S. embassy in Kabul Afghanistan before the Soviets invaded.
History lesson from wiki: " After the December 1979 invasion, Afghanistan's foreign policy mirrored that of the Soviet Union...Most Western countries, including the United States, maintained small diplomatic missions in the capital city of Kabul during the Soviet occupation. Many countries subsequently closed their missions due to instability and heavy fighting in Kabul after the Soviet withdrawal in 1989."
In actuality the U.S. embassy there was abandoned in haste and taken over. Nearly all of the people captured there were killed with many being hung on the roof of the embassy.
So how does all this relate back to Tooth ?! We'll this guy loved the Americans and his country so much he took up arms against the soviets during the invasion. Tooth was respected by his peers because he had no rifle to fight with, but killed many soviets with a knife off the body of another soviet he had killed by unknown means.
Tooth survived the invasion and the soviets eventually left. The U.S. embassy however was not repopulated immediately. So Tooth by himself kept the embassy clean hoping for the one day return of the Americans.
You could say I am full of shit, but zoom in on Tooths ID holder hanging around his neck. At the top you'll see rank insignia pinned into it. These are only a few of the many he had, and a sign of respect from the Marines that now protect the embassy. To this day Tooth is still working at the embassy taking out garbage, washing floors, and believing in America.
Every photo has a story, and you just got one :)
