Nice post glad to see some more footage from Afghanistan.

Good to see a detailed account of the operations going on in Afghanistan right now, and just how real the fighting is.

I second that.  Real information is hard to come by.  Shame on the CBC for furthering their agenda on the back of the troops deployed in Afstan.

I liked these lines.

The operations here in Afghanistan, as I have commented on so many times, began with the attacks
on September 11, 2001. Yet, the operations of the past days that I was part of were led by Canadians. What has resulted is a bonding of US and Canadian forces never before seen. They are not just our neighbor to the north, they have proven themselves to be fighters and soldiers worthy of the highest honors that the US Army offers its own.

On our first morning of being attacked, I found myself holding back tears as I filmed Canadians fighting a fight that began on American soil. In interviews that followed, I discovered the depth of commitment that these soldiers held in their hearts, as they expressed their belief in purpose and shared their emotions, at times with tears. Two countries, each proud of their roots and history, unified across the border that distinguishes each of us.

Good stuff.  For me the best line was: "What do you think of the infidels now!"

I would say that Steve Cho has done some decent reporting for a Canadian Media type.

I would say that Steve Chao has done some decent reporting for a Canadian Media type.

I know Steve and had the opportunity to catch up on things with him for a bit in the Kabul airport when he came in to Kabul in January.  He's a good guy, very balanced reporter.  Just to be clear, Steve is the Asian Bureau Chief for CTV.

I noticed a fired M72 on the ground.  Not to sound like a prick but I hope they smashed that thing up soon after.

;D  I'm sure that in the middle of a Fire Fight, it wasn't a concern.  I imagine it was picked up later.  Can't loose valuable training aids.  ;D

You know it wouldn't surprise me. lol
