It's a perfect summary of the War on Terror that the US Authorities thought that Bin Laden was hiding out in a honeycomb like underground terrorist complex when he was actually sat in his house watching Hentai and playing Halo 2.
He was a big final fantasy fan 7 if his belongings are to be believed. I would have loved to see his reaction video to cloud in Smash
They just were using this in their budget proposals to give contractors kickbacks based on vague things they heard about the tunnels in Vietnam.
That's because the CIA paid bin laden to build the bunker complex in the 1980s so they assumed he was using it
Imagine thinking Bin Laden had tanks hidden 1,000 ft under a mountain when in reality he was just chilling in some random house
tanks hidden 1,000 ft under a mountain
In a tiny chamber that it cannot be driven out of. Very smart.
The first image is literally the concept art for Vault 13.
Didn't the Viet Cong actually use these sorts of underground tunnels (including dead ends with lethal traps) to hide from the American and French invaders? The memory of Vietnam would have made infographics like these appear quite credible to a US audience who wouldn't think to ask what resources were at the Taliban's diposal.
Good points that it deals with resentments and false ideas of the US population (and the rest of the core). I for one stand in solidarity with our brave heroes of the Viet cong .
A tank has to be in the mountain to have a cool Metal Gear Solid like cutscene and bossfight for the Navy Seal Team infiltrating the base to in a pacifist speed run to use "facts and logics" to convince Obama to hand himself in. /s
every mountain is secretly just a supervillain lair from an old bond film full of brown people, we have to let energy companies clear the mountain tops off & extract the coal underneath to be sure
Me and my best friend designed a mountain fortress in 5th grade, it was the still the cold war, Carter administration.
They just asked some rich guy for the floor plan of his doomsday bunker and added in some horses.
