    i don’t get what the guy in the middle panel is there for, standing on the dome of the rock. if it’s funny, i don’t get the reference, can someone enlighten me.

    oh and that speaker icon is annoying in the bottom right of the lower panel.

    i decided to repair the meme by removing these two elements, and then adding alt text. enjoy.

    a three panel meme, with depictions of the middle east. panel 1 says "born too late to deploy to the middle east". panel 2 says "born too early to deploy to the middle east". panel 3 says "born just in time to deploy to the middle east".

        How mad it must be to be Afghani, people from everywhere constantly invading.

          Meh. The Mongols – those were invaders. The US and Brits, both modern and Victorian, by contrast, were basically tourists
