Spann asked the prisoners who they were and why they joined the Taliban. They massed around him. "Why are you here?" Spann asked one. "To kill you," came the reply as the man lunged at Spann's neck. Spann drew his pistol and shot the man dead. Dave shot another, then grabbed an AK-47 from an Alliance guard and opened fire. According to eyewitness accounts given to the German team, the Taliban launched themselves at Spann, scrabbling at his flesh with their hands, kicking and beating him. Spann killed two more with his pistol before he disappeared under the crush.

This is an amazing exchange. Spann died a hero.

This will be hard on Spann's family to read, but they will deal with it. Better Americans understand the brutality of war, and how a brave man met his death. With guns blazing.

Everyday of our lives, we should be grateful our country still produces men like this.

Alliance forces were so confident of victory that at one frontline position, three shared a powerful joint of hashish.

What a stupid way to celebrate! Did they forget they are in a combat zone?
