| This rug remembering the Battle of Tora Bora depicts a silhouette of Afghanistan; the northern half of the country is red, the southern a deep blue, and the split between the two is a light tan. A large military helicopter occupies the north with the words "TORA BLLRA AFGHANISTAN", while two tanks and what looks like red spiders occupy the south.
The rest of the field is comprised of an RPG and a tank at the top of the rug, a large rifle and bullets to the right, and some jets, grenades and some text near the bottom. Alternating tan and red diamond-shapes make up the border. |
