Watch the Afghan National Army Spit Hot Fire in This Rap-Cruiting Video
Members of the Afghanistan national army train for an Air Assault mission on Contingency Outpost Connolly in Nangarhar, Afghanistan, on Jan. 24.
The Afghan National Army is looking for a few good men.
You may have heard that the US is, once again, playing the “should I stay or should I go” game in Afghanistan, so the ANA has an urgent need to fill its ranks and beef up its forces — perhaps now more than ever.
Apparently, someone at the Afghan Ministry of Defense figured a good means of accomplishing that goal would be to produce this fire mix tape/rap/recruiting video to target a younger, hipper generation of would-be Afghan warriors.
If the production value is any indication of what nearly 20 years of American influence can accomplish, it’s safe to say the Afghan military has its work cut out for them going forward. To quote the folks at Funker 530, “This is the track you play when you really wanna show the Taliban how serious you are.” Enjoy.
