This is from the Latest issue of Vanity Fair and I have to say it is a must read for all those who haven't been there.

It's an article about the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan and it says much that people need to understand about the war.

Very interesting article!

Most impressed by Aaron Hijar's comment- "If people like him don't sign up, everyone his age will be subject to the draft".

“I find it odd that an airborne-qualified soldier jumps five feet and breaks his ankle,” a soldier named Tanner Stichter comments.<--I found that pretty entertaining.

I like that he points out that the insurgents have all of the advantages, and yet US forces are still gaining the trust of the locals.

I definitely think this is a good map idea.

That last line was what did it in for me... you think of all that work gaining allies in a village/city and then bam...

Not quoted as some might say it is a bit of a "spoiler" or something similar...
