Afghanistan will now be the focus of U.S. forces in the Middle East and this fast-paced video of a firefight showing the 3rd Platoon of the 173rd Airborne is an example of the type of terrain and fighting that will be taking place in the months and perhaps years to come.

Sir, I have been reading and watching the videos about Afghanistan on your site, they are very good. My grandson SPC David Poole served on this deployment with the 173rd, he was in 3rd Platoon, Destined Company in Chowkay and FOB Fortress. He has some of his videos on youtube.com under search montananutz, check them out. Thank You

Hi Ronnie:
Thanks so much for your comment, your service and your son's service to our country. I definitely will look up your son's videos and perhaps post them on my blog.
Keep watching.
Bill
Hi Ron: Please let your son know that I posted one of his videos on my blog. Here is the link: http://corksphere.blogspot.com/2009/03/one-last-ride-with-2503-173rd-airborne.html
Thanks again for your service and your son's service.

Hi Bill, thanks for posting the vid on your blog, sorry I did not mention some of the language is rather out of it on there, but he told me thats the way it is in combat, it helps relieve their stress. He participated in 70 and maybe even more of those firefights.The 173rd "Sky Soldiers" are no doubt Americas best! Ronnie
Hi Ronnie: I posted another of your son's videos here: http://corksphere.blogspot.com/2009/03/us-forces-from-173rd-abct-in-intense.html
As for the language, no need to apologize. If you notice in my bio on my blog I was a combat engineer in the Army during the Korean War so I know all the words.
In fact, I thnk the graphic language adds to the videos and I never receive a complaint from anyone.
If your son or you have any other suggestions for videos, you can post them on this post or write to me at Bill Corcoran, corkcol@aol.com
Again my best and give a "hoorah" to your son for me.
Bill
Ronnie: I didn't realize David is your grandson. Sorry. It won't happen again.
Bill
