This is seriously getting ridiculous
Elite Marine recon teams were dropped behind Taliban lines by helicopter Friday as the U.S.-led force escalated operations to break resistance in the besieged insurgent stronghold of Marjah.
As the major NATO offensive entered its seventh day, about two dozen Marines were inserted before dawn into an area where skilled Taliban marksmen are known to operate, an officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of security concerns.
Good thing the Taliban snipers don’t know that the Marines are there or something.
I seriously wonder sometimes what would happen if WWII was fought in today’s world. I’m not saying the Allies wouldn’t have come out on top, but I have to believe that at the very least, the Japanese and Germans would have dragged it out knowing the moves of their opponents.
