David Beckham visited Afghanistan to boost the morale of British troops. Apparently, Beckham hosted
a question-and-answer session with the troops and met medical staff and patients. What the
question-and-answer session was about is anyone's guess. Perhaps, they asked him what hair product
he would use in the desert heat?
Beckham dropped into Camp Bastion in south Afghanistan.
"These guys are the bravest people that I've ever met and it really is, it truly is, an honour
to be here.It's scary, it really is scary, you feel it.Just yesterday one of the troops was killed,
and you feel it and you see the flags at half-mast and you feel the tension there.
Becks recently went to Afghanistan to pay a visit to the British troops. In that context, this
photo is pretty awesome. But in the soccer/football Caption This Photo context this photo could be
hilarious.
So have it! Caption this photo:
One can only imagine the kind of security that would have marshaled David Beckham around Helmand
but hell the LA Galaxy man has time on his hands after doing his leg in (technical terminology
there) and I am sure that the troops would no doubt have been thrilled to meet the England man. As
for the pics themselves well they are all primed and ready for use in caption competitions around
the world, especially the one with David and a really big gun.
There was some sad news delivered from MNT Camp today whe head coach Bob Bradley found out a friend
of his family had been killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan yesterday. U.S. Army Colonel John
McHugh was a goalkeeper at West Point, where he graduated in 1986, and loved the game with all his
heart.
Just when we thought we'd ran out of David Beckham fantasy scenarios, he comes out with this.

Well, not in the same place at the same time.
Before the USMNT, the Galaxy's Edson Buddle et al., leaves to do battle in South Africa, they
met President Obama, former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden today at the White
House.
And a proud looking group they are, too.

Whatever your politics, the game brings us together no matter what. Governments do what they
feel they need to do but people with a love for football connect no matter what the
circumstances.
