The NYSlimes actually did a great job this time around. I guess since zero is in, they feel obligated to only show a positive aspect of the operation. This is the article I sent to element92 late last night. I wonder if he read it. He had questions regarding air support. The title is a bit misleading. All Marines who ship out to Iraq or Afghanistan go through specialized SASO training before they ship over. They kick down plenty of doors and blow a lot of goons away before they set foot on foreign soil. At least that was the way it was during my nephew's two tours.
Main thing is we are seeing goons get filled with holes and blown up. Hopefully within a few weeks this city shall be literally free of 90% plus of the Taliban forces. And just disgruntled locals that don't like seeing goons blown up will remain mostly quiet. Perhaps even give the reconstruction teams a chance to help them out in the long run.
