Has anyone else seen these guys. They are definitely not native to that region. They ‘look’ caucasian. They are dressed in Civilian clothes, and they have dirty blond hair. I have been seeing these guys for a while. They are always shaking hands with northern alliance troops and smiling and laughing! But they have grenades and machine guns drapped all over them. Who are they?
Australian or British SAS and American Special Forces personnel. Then again, Russia is getting involved again so they could be Spetsnaz.a
It would help if you put in a link to some of the photos in question, but I have a feeling you’re talking about American Special Forces and CIA or British SAS personnel. Check this thread: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=100981
If they’re in civilian clothes they may belong to the secret CIA paramilitary units which are not uniformed. Apparently their existence has only recently been confirmed by The Gummint.
Australian or British SAS Hummmmm??? I never thought of that. I know the CIA has been there for a while but I thought they were supposed to be doing cloak and dagger type stuff, not putting themselves infront of CNN cameramen… I have to agree with the SAS assumptions…
Some Afghans have blond hair, so do many Patans(sp?) from northern Pakistan. And blue eyes. Maybe to the North of Afghanistan there are even more that are “caucasian” looking. They have central asian descent, after all. They’re not an arabic people.
