U.S. TROOPS FACE A DILEMMA IN AFGHANISTAN: WHO DO YOU TRUST? (LIVE VIDEO)

U.S. troops fighting in the dangerous Korengal Valley of Afghanistan are trying to figure out who they can trust in the small villages and how do you identify the enemy.

As this video points out, our troops are not able to distinguish an Afghan civilian from a Taliban fighter.

It is a constant nightmare for our troops.
