A $100m road project could be a strategic, economic and security lifeline for Afghanistan if it doesn' t fall into the hands of the Taliban or warlords.
" This project is the 21st century engineering project ," a soldier told reporter Paul McGeough, "walk a few metres off the road and you re back in biblical times ." Funded by the US, the road will shorten the route used to bring supplies in for the 100,000 international forces here. Yet the risk of attack is high and soldiers constantly scan the ridgelines. " I know you can 't physically stop the enemy from coming in to this area, " Colonel Campbell tells an elder, but what I want to do is create a place where the enemy is not welcome ." Yet the elder is more interested in getting the Colonel to build a hydro-electric plant for his village. It would seem the villagers are biding their time to see who will be victor in this long running war.

100 million dollars for the road,I wouldn't give these the steam off my shit you just know most of the money is being robbed...
Didnt even mention the fact that fob salerno had the best chili in the country.
Can’t believe this is 10 years ago and situation remains the same if not worse.
It has gotten worse than before taliban become more active than before
@@hasisb6243one year later and now the u.s. pulls out
9:37 looks like Richard Pryor, and Steve Harvey.
Interesting video - but I kept thinking that a well placed bomb will make the highway inoperable, again and again and again ......
How many military people - and how long will they have to be there - to keep that highway open to be a benefit to the Afghan people?
It's hurry up and wait but close enough
When you see war lords, something comes to mind is Cruelty.
Afghans are tough and not loyal to anyone, they switch sides.
COP Gardez Feb/2003-Nov/2003: How things have changed..we had no services whatsoever "back then". Been on the Gardez-Khost road a number of time in Hylux trucks..fortunately, no TIC's..but, things have changed....
Title should be How terrorist exploit other countries resources...
Building infrastructure !!! Maybe when there done, they can start on ours !!! WTF !!! To our soldiers stay safe, thank you and God bless.
What gun is that at 6:25 ..some sort of m14 variant with telescoping stock
That is a M39-EMR, In our team we had the MK14-Mod-0. hope this clears it up for you, Echo Hard! HM1 "Doc"
They have been fighting each other for centuries all they know is kill kill kill kill kill kill kill road will be blown up
QRF- quick reaction force... says it all.
Colin Amondson incorrect
That U.S. infantry Lieutenant Colonel Campbell has turned into quite a showman.
Yes
HEY ITS ROUTE 1!!!!!! Been there a time or 2!
He sounds like Sir Trevor Mcdonald in some parts. Anyone else think the same???
No-one in the world has balls like americans do. It feels so great to see American Flags on the soldiers uniform. GOD BLESS THESE SOLDIERS AND AMERIKA....
Yes it seems they really enjoy dying for Israel
20 years, 4 presidents, $3 TRILLION….to replace The TALIBAN WITH THE TALIBAN!
Brafuckingvo
Why spell America like that? Americk?
This has to be the most pathetic comment ever.
Americas balls are tiny compared to all other nato countries
5:51 O hell No
Was at PRT Gardez in 10' and nothing much had changed. With the Afghani's it is all about what you can do for me. God willing=maybe. Only people who made money were the contractors and Taliban/War lords.
The biggest deterrence to stop an insurgency or small skirmish is to send a group of young scantily clad young boys in. Muslims love a good bummin session.
I scrapped crap off my shoes with more value than the likes of you. Piece of shit.
N so do mor than ever westerners n I won't use Christians u ignorant biased blind hero
Lmao it’s true, why tf is this true, it’s disgusting. I’ve seen some videos on Pakistan about this and they love their young boys.
@@bigwendigo2253 sorry, that's not Taliban,they literally kill people for doing that gay shits,only government people do that,even american soldiers are disgusted by their own ally
Thousands of dangerous roads in their America.
True but thats cause people dont know how to drive. Not because there's dudes with AKs putting bombs in the passing lane.
Don't start no shit wont be no shit...lil jon quote
And most of those dangerous roads in America are in democratic ran cities .
@@markc6138 so all major cities. Its not the democrats that are responsible for our awful roadway design and shitty driver population. Although Id like to think so
@@markc6138 you dumb? You sound dumb.
No way, drive through Ilford east london, that makes this lot look like kinder garded
It's like that now from Aldgate to Romford .
I.served with 1/9 in helmond😥😄
well , that was a waste
Ring road
Salerno is in khost... Not Paktia
How about building our rads here in the USA!???
Send in the rpg from the hills
Punjabis everywhere
Yup locals can’t like that
The only reason they doing this road is to get away if ambushed
1 minutes in and yet no mention of what country this is in. OBVIOUSLY it’s Afghanistan. But come on.
The Khost Gardez Pass or KG Pass was a cagey place for sure, indeed a Highway to Hell!!!

Hi
God Bless America.
Ye sure your imaginary friend will bless an man made artificial set of boarders, won by butchering who ever was there previously. Idiot.
Too bad they weren’t all like LT. Campbell
How can you win hearts and minds when there are no hearts or minds?
Will get the big money.
Business
What a waste of money 💰. They are not worth it. I would just sell them the good stuff and let them get on with it.

What the fuck are we still doing there.get out and let them figure it out for themselves.
When are we done playing world police. For God sake's get our boys home.
I wonder what would have happened if we wouldn't have played "world police" during WW2.
@@rumplestiltskin5036 I appreciate that. New age brother
@@branmcg9844 My pleasure.
@@rumplestiltskin5036 WW2 is definitely a different situation than this but I’m sure glad we joined in on WW2, who knows what would have happened if we didn’t. I’m good on a Nazi overlord, not something I want.
@Big Wendigo How is this different? It's the same abuse of the population, same world dominance mentality (Islam), same propaganda, etc, etc, etc.
U invade & occupy a country, installed ppl of ur choosing as a Govt & build roads 2 solidify ur grip on land & then expecting people to submit in ur ruling
Is a foolish type of mindset.
M Hasan they all pay to fuck young boys.....gross

TALIBAN ARE FREEDOM FIGHTER PAKISTANI SUPPORT & STAND WITH AFGHAN TALIBAN...
If you think sharia law is freedom you’ve got your sh!t twisted up dude
The problem again with Afghanistan is not the people expect it is the extremists and the US and it's Alliance Armies taking and helping themselves to Afghanistan resources the oil,gems and the illegal Opium and Heroin trade your kidding yourself if it is anything else to do with the Afghan People.
Look the American propaganda 😜😜😜😜😜

Was out commander ... These afgan tribes have immense hate for white ..
When the US exits the government will last 2 months for the rats to exit to California.
Yea that why america go to afghanistan coz so many project.. make money.. the soldier died..
Not everybody wants to live like an American.
gary ward but they sure don't want to be killed
Nobody should be forced to live under sharia
God Bless USA !!
for what? reality tv or hollywood since thats all they offer and i forgot about the cancer called the US military
Elchapo Junior yeah that's why over 140 nations want US Military presence there don't take my word for talk to those governments Japan, Poland, Australia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Djibouti, Italy, Germany, South Korea would strongly disagree with you yes certain elements of the people in those countries question a large military presence but most of them agree there needs to be a US Military presence because they don't have the funding to make an large armed force of their own to the size were they can fully protect themselves
Fuck usa
they helped in destroying themselves ,why are they supporting taliban
Because Taliban is good and USA is war Lord simple
Every single video I've seen with a Brit as the narrator, is always "war sucks, America sucks, Muslims are awesome"
Well, American keeps losing wars to guys fighting in sandals with old AK’s. The Taliban controls Afghanistan again
Journalists have been saying the taliban are winning the war for the past 12 years. Today is 2019. The Taliban haven't won. U.s. forces are still there fighting the war. The naysayers were wrong. (lara logan from 60 minutes said the 10 yrs ago the taliban are "winning"...they still haven't 'won') The u.s. only has 9000 troops in Afghanistan. The war is a draw. Neither side has won. By it being a draw...the u.s. wins
"Neither side has won. By it being a draw.. The us wins"? Lol nice logic.
@@GoogleAccount-po1gl the soviets lost in Afghanistan. The british lost twice in afghanistan back when britain was the world's superpower. (1800s). Afghanistan has been called the graveyard of empires. however the u.s. (today's superpower) did not lose. It was a draw. Therefore by being a draw THE U.S. WINS!! any questions moron? Next.....
@@GoogleAccount-po1gl the usa wins by not losing fat midget. Amen
@@peteramarillo8952 Lol. You're an idiot. How the fuck does a draw equate to a win? A draw is a draw you dumb acorn. lol.
MANY more than 2400 americans died in Afghanistan. Bush administration changed the statistics after 9/11. Only deaths that happen immediately on the battlefield gets counted. Mines which account to 80% of fatalities are not, neither suicide bombs, insider attacks, friendly fire, etc etc doesn't. For example if you get shot and die on your way to the hospital, you're not counted in the statistic. Don't forget the US wasted 6-7 trillion dollars in Afghanistan and Iraq alone. Also 22 american veterans commit suicide DAILY, look it up. That's 8000 a year right there, multiply that by 18 years of war=144.000, and counting.
IMPORTANT INFO: Contractors and paramilitary are not counted in the statistics either, they account for majority of soldiers.
Not to mention they don't count mercenary deaths, which is deceptive as majority of troops are mercenary blackwater fighters. I couldn't make this up. This is how filthy and deceptive this "war" is.
please dont spread this misinformation about only 2400 soldiers died. Mamy more died. If they lost 65000 in 10 years in Vietnam. They have lost at least 3 times more in 20 years of Afghanistan. They lie to keep the public from protesting and opposing and rioting because of the war
