  • without a doubt the 173rd is one hard-ass crew. Just look at how many times the enemy has tried to overrun their positions. Wanat, Bella, etc. each time they repelled the attack and then chased down the mofos that were trying to retreat. you don't really want none, son.

  • Taliban overrun remote district today :( - also, enemies of Afghanistan? Nuristani people don't even consider themselves Afghans, they speak a different language and until recent times they weren't even Muslim! lol history is going to repeat itself over and over
