Combat

It never ends. This is a machine gunner's POV helmet cam. video of a battle in Afghanistan. "Tree line!" I didn't see a fucking twig sticking up out of the ground. It is a desert. You wouldn't think there were that many places to hide.

I heard one soldier quoted as saying this is a different fight than Iraq. They would shoot and run away in Iraq. In Afghanistan, they stick around and manoeuvre on you. How many world powers have had their hat handed to them by Afghanistan? Oh, yes. Soviet Union, England (back in the day) , China doesn't try it. No one else in the regionpicks a fight with those crazy bastards. It is the Fifth Ward/Compton of the whole Middle East for God's sake. Good luck Obama. Thicker spines than yours have been broken fighting land wars in Asia.
