These are some great combat photos. Brings back some memories, except for the snow.
In early 2011, the Army’s 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne, was deployed to Afghanistan’s Kunar province during one of the deadliest years of the war.
Dubbed “No Slack Battalion,” the unit operated out of far-flung positions deep in Taliban-held territory. They were in regular, if not constant, contact with the enemy.

SGT (Join to see) - I know, I was expressing pride in the fact that my unit was profiled not that I was there during the timeframe of the article. Iraq vs. Afghanistan...

LTC (Join to see), I don't doubt that. With the weather, the mountains, and the enemy knowing every move being made, it's a wonder there aren't more fire fights and injuries or KIA in that stinking war. They are some crazy bastards.
