- lepetitmousse, on 05/13/2009, -0/+6and when my art projects in elementary school were gun themed, i was sent to the principles office. Turns out i was onto something after all!
- haydukeqc, on 05/13/2009, -1/+7Why is tom hanks' face not on any of these?
- CoreyHalliwell, on 05/13/2009, -0/+4My lesbian friend and her friends play battle carpets all the time...
- Defiant001, on 05/13/2009, -2/+6I would prefer Battle Toads to Battle Carpets

- paradigmx, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3My buddy got one, has it as his welcome mat to his house. The funny part is the pizza guy is an Afgan, and the carpet obviously looks like we wipe our feet with it.
He didn't pay $200 for one, I think he stole it from some guy he killed - DrDragun, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3Even Chuck Norris needs to Feng Shui up his apartment sometimes.
- DirtyBinLV, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3Pillage - a job perk of soldiers since the beginning of organized war. My grandparents still use a lace tablecloth my grandpa looted from the Nazis.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 05/13/2009, -1/+4You can never defeat my War Snuggie!
- DarthLamp, on 05/13/2009, -1/+3Well, you have to consider they're probably hand made....
The cost comes from the craftsmanship. - inactive, on 05/13/2009, -1/+3You'd probably pay 200 bucks for a sneaker sewn by a chinese kid with a swoosh on it, what's a unique custom Afghan rug worth to you?
- Slides, on 05/13/2009, -1/+3In case anyone doesn't know - they aren't prayer rugs.
- mdesbiens2532, on 05/13/2009, -1/+3God. I remember these guys trying to sell them to us when I was over in Kandahar. No ***** they wanted 200 bucks for 'em.
- billski, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2CarpetToads
- inactive, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2That would explain the tanks and guns.
- Spetz, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1I want one.

- BorsKaegel, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1The secret carpet fighting underground. It is a blood sport, I tell you...
- VisualRhetoric, on 05/13/2009, -1/+2200 Afghani or $200US? If it's the former, $4 is a steal for a battle rug!!
- tightscrummy, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1Perhaps you should make a list of every article you've seen in the last 10 years and give it to Digg so that they can make sure this doesn't happen again.
- tightscrummy, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1I thought guns were the teeth of Democracy and an armed society is a polite society?
- awtripp, on 05/13/2009, -1/+2Really? Been on Digg for 2.5 years and still saying that?
- Wakkyweed, on 05/14/2009, -0/+1Why does it bother you? It's just a simple description, and it explains why he has cool stuff like Afghan rugs.
- okitasan, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1lovely place, Afghanistan
- inactive, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1Damn, I'd pay that.
Next time I'm in Afghanistan.... - tightscrummy, on 05/13/2009, -1/+2What does being a "millionaire" have to do with this story?
- PBMainiac3, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1What? You mean to say your rug DOESN'T have a Kalashnikov on it?
- billski, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1So..... you think they've ever seen an AK47?
- inactive, on 05/13/2009, -1/+1"Charlie Did It"
- Jrod65, on 05/13/2009, -0/+0you're life in elementary school = what life has been like for the average afghani for the past 20 years. wish i could dig you down more...
- ClickSnd, on 05/14/2009, -0/+0I have three or four of these from my last deployment. I got them from "Joey". He comes from a family of run dealers and I also met his younger brother in Kabul. Before I left, he let me have a few as a keepsake.
- Wakkyweed, on 05/13/2009, -1/+1My millionaire boss has a real cool Afghan carpet that uses pictures to tell the story of a couple who lose their home and family to invaders, become slaves, escape into the desert, dream about a life of peace, and finally shows them happily married surrounded by children.
The article reminded me of this because the rug is in the same style and has lots of AK-47's in the background. He's also got another one with lots of mean looking guys armed with funky looking daggers. - tenchiws, on 05/13/2009, -2/+2I prefer Battle Toads.
- evisr8r, on 05/13/2009, -0/+0stop digging up old dead excuses for articles, I saw this years ago.
- tightscrummy, on 05/13/2009, -1/+1Ha ha. Does the Afghani spit on your pizza count as an extra topping?
- inactive, on 05/13/2009, -1/+1I wonder if they the USA is there to liberate them.
- inactive, on 05/13/2009, -2/+1And the US is the warmonger?
- elliebear99, on 05/13/2009, -2/+1LMAO!
- oninbonin, on 05/13/2009, -1/+0This isn't a joke?
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 05/13/2009, -5/+3They are actually Muslim prayer rugs. Seriously.
- mksmothers, on 05/13/2009, -9/+3Really? First page?
