An Afghan man, who awarded a Medal of Bravery to U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year, has been killed by Taliban.
Zabihullah Mujahid a Taliban spokesperson in a tweet Sunday took responsibility for the attack. “One of those criminals who had taken a medal to U.S. President Trump is killed in the blast in Logar. His name is Gul Nabi who had designed the medal.”

Posthumous medal of?...
bravery in the face of death anyway
This brave gentleman wasn’t a “millennial”!
RIP.
I should have posted in my first post above, the reason they gave Trump the Medal of Bravery was because the Trump Administration decided to defund Pakistan! The article says that. So, a good decision on our behalf with the sad consequences of what the Taliban does. That’s what the Cartels in Mexico do, go after anyone that they perceive has slighted them.
professor at Royal Military College of Canada “Pakistan might have encouraged
the Taliban to take action against those who produced the medal,”
Gul Nabi designed the medal. on Jan. 13, in a community gathering, more than
300 participants agreed to award the medal to the U.S. president.
The text on the medal inscribed in gold reads:....
“Bravery medal, on behalf of the people of Afghanistan to Donald Trump, the President of the U.S.”
The medal was reportedly sent to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul on Jan. 13.
The cost of the “Gold” medal was about 45,000 Afghanis ($645), considered a very large sum for many in the region, which is about 60 kilometers outside of the capital, Kabul.
I hope the president wears the medal until the murderers are out of power.
Bloody savages!!
Pakistan is a very dark country...they harbor terrorists and Taliban fighters......Gul Nabi was a tribal “elder” who designed the medal and they also killed those with him in his car.
Here's Aizaz Chaudhry appointed Pakistan's ambassador to US....he's a dark looking individual!
Thanks for the image contributions to the thread!
Hard to believe possible this was Afganistan in the 70's and 80's....
You bet!
Images and the information, posts you posted. It dawned on me, I should have said that too.
How about Beruit in the 70’s.
Not Taliban goat herders—Taliban goat fu--ers...
Beirut was the Paris of the Middle East. Now it’s becoming the other way around.
