"In my most recent blog entry, I stated that I found it laughable the idea that the Taliban and insurgents could conduct coordinated assaults and challenge US forces on the conventional battlefield...and then a day later they go and kill eight soldiers in a conventional-type attack.

The US Army unit we were partnered was often on reserve-alert to support police stations up that way which were in extremis. "
