Instead of the usual ineffective but safe conglomeration of military forces in military bases, the US is effectively spreading out its troops around Helmand province. Although this new tactic might turn out to be better for Afghanistan than search and destroy missions, I think that its just asking for disaster. With forces so spread out, it'd be relatively easy for the Taliban to take an American soldier hostage or to ambush a patrol. Let's hope that the marines there keep a weather eye out for the Taliban.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787752701751557957noreply@blogger.com
