COP Keating to FOB Bostick Helicopter ride

[Rambokurtz]

Speaking of things that make sense, why is this video online? Why was it ever made? It was posted after the place was let go, but the fact that it existed at all is a problem.

Friggin pogs.

I made this because it was my first mission in Kunar and I was really excited to have the whole front seat of the Blackhawk to myself... I serviced Keating about 15 times over the next 18 months and never did anything else like this... It was never my intention to post it at all, or even show it to anyone else, but since Keating is no longer there there is no harm in posting it. Do you think this is going to give AAF some tactical advantage over a base that is no longer there?

Very poor military strategy

The first rule is to capture the High ground who would deliberately set up camp in the pit of the valley ?

[StealthyTyler0425]

because it is easy access to the surrounding area and villages. were just not there to get in fights u know. look up PRTs and there jobs. They need access to villages. Wont work out if your on top of a huge mountain

still a bunch of dumbass's to place a fob in that location

I have trouble understandng the logic of placing a base at the foot of a mountain. Seems to me, you would always want the high ground.

Control the road, support the Afghan National Police across the river and train the Afghan National Army.
