An interesting article with one of the most descriptive pieces I’ve read about combat in Afghanistan and how NATO forces deal with being there.
Our convoy limped back to base. We arrived the following morning, our trucks shot out, one dead friend, and more wounded, some of whom would return to us and others who wouldn’t. We were in a sour mood. The source of our ire fell distinctly on the medevac that had failed to arrive.
NATO medevacs were not allowed into a “hot zone” but 2 US Black Hawks came to their aid instead.
Read the full piece @ I saw NATO’s flaws up close in combat. Bullying can’t fix them.
