It's still bad in my opinion. It's just... less bad. I still had a really hard time getting through that personally.

Ummm... You do know the Russians invaded Afghanistan from 1979 - 1989. The US is hardly the only culprit here.

Those are most certainly divers. The one on the right at the very end shows his legs. Also, it looks like they're deliberately splashing 1/2
