Gripping stuff. I’ve just watched a BBC World Service programme about the Chasseurs Alpins in Afghanistan and the New York Times presentation had much more impact on me. (Although the BBC Programme gave much more information)
I still think that still images bury themselves more in your memory than moving images.

When I first glanced at the title of this post, my mind somehow interpreted it as “TAYLOR Hicks in Afghanistan,” and I started to wonder just what the white-haired winner of American Idol (2006) was doing over in the Middle East…

By Afghans, I meant the Taliban here.

Ambushes are never fun.
Ideally we are not trying to overcome/conquer the Afghans.

And read the comments by readers. Seems pretty futile fighting over there since no invading force has overcome the Afghans.

Thoroughly gripping. The audio really adds a palpable layer of presence.
