Q: (Joe) Is the story about the Kandahar giant that US Green Berets allegedly encountered and killed in Afghanistan in 2002, true?
A: No
Q: (Joe) So it's entirely made up?
A: Not entirely.
Q: (Joe) Did they encounter a giant?
A: Somewhat of one, yes.
Q: (Andromeda) So just a very big person and...
(Joe) A very tall Afghani.
(Niall) A very tall "Talibani".
A: Yes
Q: (Andromeda) And it was exaggerated.
(Joe) Like a nomad type dude living in a cave in Afghanistan? He was quite tall?
A: Yes
Q: (Joe) Maybe a bit mentally retarded?
A: Yes
Q: (Joe) That's why he was in the cave?
A: Yes
Q: (Joe) And because they're Green Berets, they freaked out.
A: Yes [laughter]
Q: (Joe) So they have to make up this entire story to make them sound really tough.
A: Yes [laughter]
