We (the US AH-64’s) were held in reserve so that ISAF/NATO could plan and conduct this mission. We also have ground troops there that were supposed to assist. ISAF/NATO lasted almost 1 day into the battle before they screwed it up so bad that US forces took over. We (US) have been fighting heavily for 5 days, yesterday most of the enemy left town running into the desert through holes in the lines (ISAF screw-up again). We’ve had multiple 64’s shot up with one pilot shot but will be OK. I’ve got the afternoon/night shift and am scheduled for more overhead CAS today. Thankfully this crap is almost over.
