FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — Capt. Kyle Walton remembers pressing himself into the jagged stones that covered the cliff in northeast Afghanistan.
Machine gun rounds and sniper fire ricocheted off the rocks. Two rounds slammed into his helmet, smashing his head into the ground. Nearby, three of his U.S. Army Special Forces comrades were gravely wounded. One grenade or a well-aimed bullet, Walton thought, could etch April 6, 2008 on his gravestone.
Walton and his team from the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group had been sent to kill or capture terrorists from a rugged valley that had never been penetrated by U.S. forces — or, they had been told, the Soviets before them.

Outstanding. Simply outstanding. :usflag:
This story should be on Page 1 of every major newspaper in the country. Instead, there'll be the usual garbage about the Anointed One and whether or not Blago quits, along with the usual pundit-yapping, will drown out the sound of those chopper blades. :censored:

No the MSM would rather mis-report alleged "losses" by U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq rather than report factual good news.

Actually, I was surprised to see that ABC Shithead News had a segment on it last night. George Stephanopoulos sitting in for Charlie Gibson did his talking head thing quite well. The on-board chopper camera shots were very compelling. Kinda wondering if ABC Shithead News would've put the thing on the air if it DIDN'T have the video footage.
George can only do the talking head thing so far. :whatever:

In that case, I must compliment this operator on his selection of weaponry.
