Alpha 1-87 IN 10th MTN charges head first into an enemy ambush. Skip to 2:20 to begin if you want. Basically we were on a cache search when we hit an enemy ambush from about 30-50 meters away, you can hear the bullets going by Gannon's head. Gannon leads his SAW gunner to fight through the ambush and sets up a base of fire for the rest of the squad to reach him from the open field, un-noticed valor that goes on everyday in Afghanistan and Iraq. Unfortunately the camera is knocked off mid way through the video and pretty much just for audio.

TALIBAN SIGNALS THEY ARE NOT READY FOR ANY KIND OF PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

Afghanistan: The government's High Peace Council chairman, former president Burhanuddin Rabbani, was assassinated by a suicide bomber on 20 September in front of his Kabul residence — another council member also was wounded in the blast, which occurred in the high-security neighborhood of Wazir Akbar Khan. Rabbani was responsible for leading negotiations with the Taliban on behalf of the Afghan government. Rabbani, a Tajik affiliated with the Northern Alliance, headed peace talks with the Pashtuns and was president in 1996 when the Taliban forced him to flee from Kabul. Thus, Rabbani's appointment conveyed a lack of sincerity to the Taliban and there was never any meetings on peace talks — which is precisely what Mullah Omar said in his greeting for Eid ul Fitr on 30 August.



Nevertheless, the Taliban also have never been seriously interested in peace talks. Talks are not part of their strategy — waiting out the enemy is. The significance of this assassination is that it is the fourth attack this summer that demonstrates the government cannot protect the capital: when the government coalition is under attack in the capital, it is losing. Not even the Syrian government faces that condition.

"YOUNG" VIDEO AND SLIDESHOW OF OUR YOUNG MILITARY IN AFGHANISTAN



CLICK ON ARROW TO PLAY THIS VIDEO

This is a sideshow of pics and video from our deployment to Afghanistan in 2010. 2010 was the deadliest year for coalition forces since Operation Enduring Freedom commenced in 2001. Everyday our truck platoon showed extreme courage and uncommon valor in the face of a formidable enemy force. As a whole our platoon encountered over 50 IED blasts. I was involved in 5 blasts personally. I am truly proud to have served with each and ever Marine and Sailor during OEF 10.2. From Delaram to Golestan and Gereshk to Sangin we traveled some of the most dangerous deserts on this planet in order to accomplish the mission. Day in and day out these young men showed what true American resolve means. I pray the lord blesses these young men and gives them peace after all we have been through. They are true American Patriots.



The reason I chose Young by Hollywood Undead was because of the lyrics. In the beginning they talk about how we are young and we are strong. We were born into this world when Afghanistan was at war and it seemed that the Cold War was going to tare us apart.


Then you see the destruction of Afghanistan as well as the WTC in an efforts to show how America is responsible for the rise of Taliban after the civil war that killed so many in the eary 1990's.


I show explosion after explosion in order to show everyone that IED where an everyday thing for us in Southern Afghanistan.


When you see any combat or aircraft providing close air support it is more than likely at FOB Jackson in the middle of Sangin proper. In November FOB Jackson was attacked by over 100 plus Taliban in an effort to overrun the perimeter. Luckily British Apaches and A-10's were in the skies above Sangin that day in order to provide close air support.
