CBS NEWS Video of the Battle of Wanat Afghanistan.

Many thanks to captainsjournal for posting this harrowing video of American soldiers fighting a fanatical enemy whilst being hugely outnumbered and in a poor defensive position. Lets make sure that if more American and ISAF forces are sent to Afghanistan which looks likely they are not left in this predicament. There is no doubt the bravery shown by these young American soldiers and it brings tears to my eyes to see the KIA on the hillside, but there commanders sadly let them down. Imagine what could have happened without the Apache support. RIP Jonathan Brostrom.
