Note: Please take a closer look on the patch on Capt. Josh Arrowood's left arm. There's an Arabic "ten" for "A-10" and the inscription "Panthers 2010". It could be an official deployment patch of the 81st EFS's latest combat deployment.

Does anyone else find it weird that the A-10 patch is in Arabic, yet they don't speak Arabic in Afghanistan?
ReplyDeleteThat's just the written language out there. They speak a few different languages, but Arabic is written, due, in part, that most Afganis, that can read, can read Arabic.
