iskatel"Смотреть, как смелые афганцы воюют против современной военной техники с простейшим оружием – это настоящее вдохновение для всех, кто любит свободу.
Их смелость преподаёт нам важнейший урок – в этом мире есть вещи, которые стоит защищать.
Я говорю жителям Афганистана – мы восхищаемся вашим героизмом, вашей преданностью свободе, вашей непрекращающейся борьбой против ваших угнетателей".
Рональд Рейган.
И знаменитое фото, "Рональд Рейган встречается с делегацией афганских моджахедов, 1983 год".
Всё начиналось на американские деньги и с американским оружием.
Ученики (а "талибы" переводится как "ученики") успешно завершили курс обучения и теперь сами работают преподавателями.
Учат разваливающиеся старые империи, знаете-ли.
Интересно, нравятся ли бывшим учителям уроки от их бывших учеников ?
Включу, пожалуй, мюзикл "Мисс Сайгон". Там как раз про Сайгон 1975го.
Текст песни "The Fall Of Saigon" под катом.
AN OFFICER
sorry, sergeant, we must accelerate
state department says we evacuate
the word is, we must be out by dawn
ANOTHER OFFICER
sorry, sergeant, it's straight from Washington
no one leaves the grounds now, not anyone
as fast as we load the planes, we're gone
CHRIS
but my girl is out there!
(a huge crowd of VIETNAMESE is pushing at the Embassy gates)
A MARINE CAPTAIN
(to the crowd)
okay! Keep quiet! don't shout!
the Ambassador won't leave till everyone's out
the choppers're on their way, there's room for you all
ANOTHER MARINE
they're climbing over the wall!
get back!
MORE MARINES
get back! I tell you, don't shout
the Ambassador won't leave till everyone's out
A MARINE
(entering)
th'Ambassador just sent an order to freeze
THE MARINE CAPTAIN

CHRIS

KIM

CHRIS
(to an OFFICER)

(on the Embassy roof, the last helicopter lands. CHRIS runs up and down
the wall, shouting for KIM. Finally he is forced to board the helicopter,
which takes off. The nightmare passes. KIM is in her little room with
TAM.)
