My thoughts too. It tried to evade the question by always referring to the Afghans were there, but as always been the case there has always been our side guiding in air strikes.
I think what he was probably saying was that our guys were not in the firefight and the Afghans asked out guys to call in close air support. There is no freaking way the Afghans have our call signs for calling in close air. Not even the perfumed princes are that stupid.
