US Military Work In Afghanistan At Bagram Air Base
BAGRAM, AFGHANISTAN - OCTOBER 01: A crowd gathers at an outdoor seating patio during the evening on October 1, 2009 on Bagram Air Base, in Bagram, Afghanistan. Bagram Air Base has evolved since the US invasion from a decrepit Soviet-era airfield to a bustling small town full of US military from all five service branches as well as international military partners, civilian contractors, and local Afghan nationals working on the base. Unlike many military outposts, Bagram stays busy at night, with the roar of planes landing on its airstrip 24/7 and with troops grabbing late-night snacks at one of Bagram's fast food restaurants.
