Pinned Down, a Sprint to Escape Taliban Zone

Here's a story about US troops in Afghanistan that gives you a feels for what's going on there.

"The two Army lieutenants crouched against boulders beside the Korangal River. Taliban gunfire poured down from villages and cliffs above, hitting tree branches and rocks and snapping as the bullets passed over the officers’ helmets."

not knowing the geography well enough can be very bad for our troops. vietnam taught us a big lesson and we should be more prepared. i really dread hearing about our soldiers dying at war against terror because it's very sad but at the same time it could have been avoided if we were more careful.
