Airmen drop 80,000 leaflets over Afghanistan
Airman 1st Class David Cardenas positions a box of leaflets to be dropped over Afghanistan May 21 in Southwest Asia. Airman Cardenas dropped more than 80,000 leaflets over Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Airman Cardenas is assigned to the 746th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron. One side of the 6-by-4 inch leaflets urged the Taliban to give up by stating, "The ANSF (Afghan National Security Forces) and ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) are ridding Helmand of the foreign Taliban." Helmand is a province in Afghanistan where Taliban insurgents are said to be located. On the other side, it reads, "The Taliban are commanded by foreigners who seek to destroy Afghanistan. There is no honor in fighting alongside the enemies of Afghanistan." (U.S. Air Force photo)
