We're real harsh

[ShooterMaGavin]

Hmm, that looks like mostly farm land to me....

[reconpresseusa]

thank all of you for your comments

[Dawatan]

how can you verifty that there were 20 Talibans shoted, the whole world is fooled by the Americans and the media uncritically takes everything oever, and there are not 20 Talibans killed but 20 uninnocent Afghan civillians

@Dawatan That why i listen to what the troops have to say and not the news.

[actonbath]

Been there, done that...

There are 3 main strat points 2 are ancient Fortresses and one mini mtn. Cemetaries litter the outskirts of the Marjeh region. The city itself is pretty sprawled out along the river. Couple "airports" there also. I imagine ISAF will air assult one or more of them to jump off internally.

You can move throught the qanat water systems at certain times of the year. I imagine Tali will possibly use these underground canals and cisterns.

How do they know the difference between a civilian or a Taliban fighter? They are the same people. Either kill them all or let them go, but certainly don't put our folks on the ground in that crappy sitiuation.

Latest news is:

The US always buts up these incredible achievements, yet on the ground all you find is civilians killed. How come you cant fucking win the war if its been going this great for nine years?
