Rumours have been circulating for years that the American military killed a creature which was three times the size of a normal man.
The beast was supposedly shot dead after taking multiple hits in the Kandahar region when troops were looking for a missing patrol.
This outlandish claim, which has been denied by the US administration, has recently resurfaced on social media.
It was first featured in a YouTube documentary produced by filmmaker and blogger L.A. Marzulli that was released two years ago.
Two self-proclaimed ex-special ops soldiers recalled the encounter with a a supposed mythical monster.
They alleged that the giant killing was a common knowledge among fellow troops, but no-one could speak publicly...

does your church dance with snakes too?
With that being said, what are these guys doing at your church anyway?
Maybe it's just me but you need to find another church............And no, I can't recommend one.
I dont know...if I saw a 12 foot, red headed giant....I might be touring, trying to find God as well. Ha ha.
Are your proportions exactly the same as that child’s? Probably not.
The animations he did are incredible. I find them much creepier than CGI.
Nah, we dont do snakes, or crazy dances, or pray to Mary. We simply follow the Bible. This soldier was there. Perhaps he is lying? Why not give him the benefit of doubt? Especially when so many soldiers who were over there saw the same thing...
Watch it. My MIL’s funeral was preached by a snake handling preacher. You go over a mountain way back in the hills and there is a large new church. No, they don’t handle snakes there
It was an old Ronald Mcdonald statue

Did U.S. Special Forces Kill a Giant in Kandahar?

IMHO, They are indeed very real.
Their existence nicely ties together numerous Old Testament and New Testament passages, themes, and doctrine regarding those who attempt to abrogate the Plan of God by substituting a counterfeit for man to assume His blessings.
God is not mocked and knows all from the beginning.
Other buzzwords which tie them together are from extra biblical texts, such as the Book of Enoch and archeological discoveries of Monoliths, Pyramids, human sacrifice, and evil spirits without bodies.
and many Christians poo poo The Book of Enoch but I don’t think it contradicts the Bible
The Book of Enoch points to Jesus
Demons could possibly once again copulate producing offspring...Just look at Hunter Biden.
His iron bed is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, measured by a mans forearm (Deuteronomy 3:11).(13.5 feet long and 6 feet wide).
Yes, there were giants. Maybe there will be again in the end times, when it will be as in the time of NOAH.
I have no reason to believe the stories about the Red Haired Giant, as I don't know anyone who has seen one, nor have I seen one. Moar proof is needed.
I have read about the giants bones that were discovered and disappeared after the Smithsonian gathered them up. The theory is that it might be used to refute Evolution-so they wanted to hide them. I saw a picture from the newspaper of a fairly young Queen Elizabeth looking at a huge skeleton and other news paper reports.
I also read about some historians who traced a white Indian Tribe back to Wales --the tablets of the Indians were ancient dialect from Wales. Just because giants were here at one time, Doesn't mean they are still alive somewhere and running around. Frankly the issue is not at the top of my concerns right now.
Biophysics wise or scaling law wise I agree with amorphous in general. This is why elephants have thick legs and spiders skinny ones: the weight goes as the cube and the cross sectional area as the square so the weight/cross section, or stress, goes up linearly, given the same proportions.
I wondered about your interesting personal observation, steve86, and found a age-height-weight graph for boys.

If you are six feet tall, a boy half your height ( 36 inches tall ) would on average be 2 1/2 years old and weigh 30 pounds. You would have to be unusually heavy, 240 lbs, to be eight times as heavy, so steve86, you make a good point.
A man would have to be an unusually light 120 pound six-footer to be only four times as heavy though.
My favorite is how to pull start a HMMWV.
There is a great video on youtube about the collapse of viking colonization of Greenland speculatively caused by the coming of the little Ice Age and Plague cutting off their re-supply from Norway and Denmark.
There is speculation that as the inhabitants fled Greenland they traveled west instead of returning to Scandinavia. This would explain Viking artifacts found in various North American locations.
Seems like a plausible theory to me.
SC, pinged you because I thought you might like the video.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Oh, and I'm having a Viking Kitties / Immigrant Song flashback...
Is every thread supposed to be about the election?
Have no fear. Donald Trump is going to do just fine with FReepers. We're all going to dutifully show up.
It's the people who don't post here that we need to worry about.
The discission involves mountain giants, kandahar giants, and archaeological finds, historical accounts for bf and mountain giants. Very interesting discussion.
