and again i will say, i CAN NOT believe that "someone" above all of us called for a withdrawl of that valley, why the FUCK would you do that ya know? every since US forces have pulled out of there, the Taliban have been using it as a safe haven, a place to regroup & reorganize, and I MYSELF can tell you this is true because our battalion along with some other highspeeds in the recent past have went in there and its damn near impossible anymore. we're talkin like, air support of all kinds, a whole 2 battalions worth of fighting power, and some other "groups" i cant say, and its just not doable anymore. we fuckin LOST on that part. its bullshit. i think we need a mass effort to go in there and wipe that fuckin place clean of all scum. like i said, we're just about 5 or 6 miles northeast of that hellhole, that whole valley, from chowkay all the way into the korengal section of it is just INFESTED with them fuckers. but no, lets just let them do what they do so they can have a nice safe winter so they can come fuck us all up next year. bullshit

Sigh.
Everyones own unit is always "the best"
The last unit fucked them, and the next unit will never live up to what they did. It's always like that. Every unit, thinks every other unit is full of idiots, and will fail miserably. I've seen it on every single one of my deployments
"Oh theses guys are fucked"
and
"the unit we replaced didnt do shit"

Here is a key to unlock all doors. Get into the special operations community. Be it with the rangers, or green berets, and never look back. Had the new GI bill not came out, I would have never left. I had more fun, and did more bad ass stuff that anyone in the regular army can imagine.

I'm downloading this movie now.

Having spent the better part of 5 years out here and witnessing just that over and over and over again. NO unit ever wants to hear what the outgoing unit has to say. Fellas, been here doing the job for a year you might want to take heed. I have seen RIP after RIP and the same thing each time. A few times it has put me in a bad spot. One instance three years ago with a new unit we were being escorted from one base to another through Kabul; about a 45 minute route normally. The new guys would not listen to me when I told them don't take that left. Sure as shit they ignored me; just a civilian who has been driving this route for 2 years. We got lost, stuck and fucked in a neighborhood against the mountains in Kabul. They had us driving through allies and in between peoples houses. Not fucking cool. One truck got stuck cause of the snow. 3 hours later we made it to our destination. All I got was "The BFT showed a road".....hey stupid your radio told you otherwise....


On topic. No we never should have pulled out of Korengal. We never should have let such small units get fucked off on a daily basis when there are way too many bodies just wondering the streets of BAF. I would have had troops living ontop each other just to have more trigger fingers to put lead down range on goat fucking talibs and thugs that used our guys for sport. "what is that you say Captain. Your COP can only hold 20 guys well here is 50. Find something for them to do. Rotate them 25 on mission 25 back at the COP. Now you have 5 extra people for watch then you had before".

its 1.36G, so, no.
Ask someone about torrents. Ask the radio guys, or intel. Always some nerds in there.

I'm watching this off and on while studying. Who are the random marines? Anglico det?

It really make you think. Back in the old days we would have had groups of B-17's dropping 500lbs. on that entire area for about a week straight. No muss, no fuss.... At the end of the day what's the difference?

tora bora did not get much done with all the shit we dropped. there is just too many valleys and crests to drop a bomb in each one of them.

Just finished it, one of the best documentaries I have seen about the current conflict. Obviously it's impossible to cram a 15 month deployment into an hour and a half, but everyone should watch it. Little bit different than watching the war on CNN and Fox News.

Watched if last night on on demand. Was pretty good.
