  • The mission was to check out a vehicle that had been abandoned on a target range frequently used by Americans and ensure that it wasn’t left there for nefarious reasons.
    It was a cloudy day that wasn’t particularly ideal for flying, but nonetheless I loaded onto a helicopter along with a handful of American infantry attachments from the 25th Infantry Division.
    Throughout my careers as both a soldier and a journalist, I have boarded rotary wing aircraft in Afghanistan more times than I can count.
    But this time was different: The helicopter was a Russian-made Mi-17, and it was piloted and crewed by both Afghans and Americans.

      wasn't 'overran' - it was 'handed back' as part of the withdrawal agreement. The Taliban won a war that should never have been fought, started under false pretenses, with no clear objective (if you don't count the stupendous wealth transfer that occurred - taxpayer dollars going to the privatised war industries).

    Never been to a war zone but have met a few soldiers who have. They were professional in their training and duty and some talked about their experiences, some not so much. Can't imagine what combat would be like so I have immense respect for those who have. By the way i'm Canadian so it's our soldiers i'm talking about but I imagine all professional soldiers deserve the same respect. Also the best coffee I ever had was Blue Mountain coffee in Jamaica.
