My little brother died there sgt Vernon W Martin !He was born in Brooklyn and moved to Savannah when my mom decided to move to GA then he jioned the military for a better life for him and his family!I spoke to him every saturday or sunday but that weekend I got no call!but regardless of whte he had a huge funeral and he is my hero!And I always said after every conversation I LOVED HIM!!!
What military genius put a FOB in a bowl surrounded by high cliffs in the middle of enemy territory? That person needs to be demoted and then publicly beaten, he and his supervisor are responsible for the soldiers deaths that happened here.
Wow, what a horrible position to defend. The fact that they repelled an assault by over 200 fighters is a testament to the skill and capability of the US military. The loss of eight servicemen was tragic, but an impressive outcome given their predicament.
I said the same thing. THough the loss of life is tragic, they performed magnificently, their courage and skill honoring the fallen. This is another example of why the US millitary is the best and must be made better and better.
@phishstyx ,actually, they were not able to repell the attack by the mujahideen, watch the footage from the talibans point of view and you will see how they advanced on to the base and eventually overrun it. Allahu akbar!
@knowthetruth1492 , I hope you enjoy your muj delusion. If the base had been overrun, there would have been either no survivors, or muj videos of captured soldiers. There are neither, only edited propaganda videos for people like you to engage their fantasies.
@knowthetruth1492 While they did enter the wire and take ground and building inside the perimeter they did not successfully take the FOB. The soldiers fought them off with the help of CAS.
some guy did a tribute for it.

Why are they building outposts smack dab at the bottom of mountains.
Any scum sucking Taliban could get up on any surrounding hill and rain down bullets on soldiers caught outside.
Isn't it Military 101 to build the fort on the high ground?
Every base I've seen in Afghanistan is at the bottom of the valley–even the ones only accessible by helicopter. Seems pretty fucking stupid to me.
I'm reading as I'm writing this and other people are seeing this as well. WTF??
