Fairly intense account of the battle over Ghazni, Afghanistan, when the Taliban met the Afghan security forces and their Green Beret advisors in stand-up battle instead of hitting and running, the Taliban's typical SOP in the face of overwhelming American firepower. Because the Taliban had the advantage of surprise, they inflicted significant casualties at the beginning. But once on-call air power made its appearance, the tide began to turn.

Mass and concentrated use of FAEs
Turn the Talibs into crispy critters wherever we know they are.
Collateral damage? Sin loi VC

So here we are, fighting Vietnam war style, by trying to take a city that we once had, but gave up.
That’s the worst kind of war. Once we take it, we should never allow the enemy back in.
If this is the way we’re going to fight, I’d rather we just left. They’ll take it all back, but at least none of our boys have to die to take it back (again!) from the back takers.

To secure two down helicopters...
Why wouldn’t this be an air assault mission instead of a 160 mile trek through Indian territory?

“An average of seven Afghan adults and two children were killed every day in the first six months of this year”
Sounds like a weekend night in Chicago.

Trump's face stenciled on the left truck. Some libs are going to have conniption fits.
