Raw Video: Marines in gunbattle with Taliban

Marines with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines have been fighting the Taliban throughout Afghanistan's Sangin Valley for three months. They experience enemy contact almost daily and have gained tremendous ground. In a recent operation, Marines and Afghan soldiers fought through an enemy ambush and built a new patrol base. Marines continue to work with Afghan security forces and Afghan government authorities in the area. Video by Cpl. Daniel Blatter

@marcusenjm little disillusion arn't ya you going over there and saying its protecting our freedoms by suppressing another country worked wonders when the british did it to the americans or again when British did it to the ira oh ya British both times were afraid of losing their rights

Madam, in regards to your comment. I was one of the individuals in that video. I would appreciate if you would make a comment like that to my face. On a different note: Your welcome for your free speech, it's just too bad you choose to be ignorant. Now do all of is a favor and educate yourself, or jump in front of a car. I'd prefer the 2nd option.

@barseeable good sir i know tactitioning when i see it and thiss is not it ps i dont evan play call of duty

[barseeable]

@madamadam158 Its actually a formation to provide a steady stream of fire onto an enemy position therefore keeping the opposing force from firing back or even moving out of cover.

This is reality, not your xbox. Way too much call of duty kid.

[yumyum11215]

@SaltyPowderMonkey27 I AGREE!!!!  dont get me wrong i dont support out military in anything they do but you would think that with all these taxes they would get better training than this!

[SaltyPowderMonkey27]

@madamadam158 Funny you say that, this whole video I was thinking to myself "Fuck one of these guy is gonna get hit". What a cluster fuck... It's not these Marines fault our government sucks and won't train people properly.
