      If fairly that with garage I the same have a problem. But the tank this another.

    3. Just found this site today and wondered if I'd find mention of the memorial here...

      My name is David Keeley, one of the three that were fighting to save the memorial. I'm the one sown on the NTV report, in Newsweek Russia and in the Wall Street Journal article.

      Unfortunately, yes, the memorial was destroyed. I had been told it had already been destroyed prior to my return to Bagram in '08. When i got there, however, it was still intact, but damaged. They'd attempted to move it but stopped when it began to crumble. A couple of weeks later the civilian deminning team tried again, destroying it.

      At this point there was nothing we could have done. The area that housed the memorial was to be built up as part of a military construction project I cannot discuss here. Every inch of the ground surrounding it had been dug up, leaving this small island with the memorial on it. It looked to me like no one was able to make a decision about what to do. The US military couldn't bulldoze it. The Russians wanted to move it to the embassy at Kabul, but I believe there were issues with allowing them access to the base by the Afghanis. There was also talk of the cost of moving it but I think that's all speculation. The deminers took matters into their own hands, and the memorial is unfortunately destroyed.

      It saddened me to see it destroyed. I feel regardless how you feel about an enemy in time of war, after the war has ended we're all human beings once again, men who fought to protect what was dear to us. It should have been preserved to honor these men who died in such a bloody war as a reminder of what happens when diplomacy fails and we send our sons off to fight.

      Has read this message. Thanks. It is the general memory of war.

      War where Russian guys yesterday died, and the American guys today die.
