La guerra finta

Le foto dei soldati statunitensi che si esercitano in Germania in vista di una missione in Afghanistan, tra finte moschee, pecore di legno e prosciutti di compensato

HOHENFELS, GERMANY - MARCH 19: A mock Afghan village is seen at the U.S. Army's Joint Multinational Readiness Center only weeks before the 173rd will deploy to Afghanistan on March 19, 2012 near Hohenfels, Germany. U.S. troops of the 173rd Airborne Brigade based in Vicenza, Italy, met with actors role-playing Afghan village leaders during training exercises. Though the Pentagon plans to possibly pull out two U.S. Army infantry brigades based in Germany in an effort to reduce costs, the U.S. military's strong presence in Germany will likely continue, both due to the U.S. roll in NATO as well as the support the German bases provide for U.S. overseas military commitments.

Il fotografo dell’Associated Press Johannes Simon è andato a Hohenfels, in Baviera, Germania, a fotografare le esercitazioni dei soldati statunitensi che si preparano a partire per una missione in Afghanistan nei prossimi mesi. I soldati nelle foto fanno parte della 173esima brigata aviotrasportata, che è stanziata nelle base militare di Vicenza. Alcune esercitazioni si sono svolte in un finto paesino afghano costruito apposta per l’occasione, i cui abitanti sono stati impersonati da attori: pastori che portano al pascolo pecore di legno, finte pompe di benzina, finte moschee e finti chioschi con polli e prosciutti di compensato.
