Devil Dogs Away; Full of Coincidence

"
Time is almost up for the defenders of Marjah, Helmand Province. One thing, as sure as the air we need to breathe, Marjah will be taken.

My Connection to Marjah

For several months now, British forces have been clearing, pushing and holding areas around Marjah preparing for this attack. For at least the past two weeks, allied special forces teams have been infiltrating the town of 80,000 and taking out key enemy leaders.

However, this battle really started last May when reports started coming out of Marjah that Taliban fighters, including foreigners (particularly from Baluchistan, Pakistan), were beginning to mass as the Taliban retreated from a series of offensives British and American forces conducted in the Helmand River Valley and the area around Now Zad (which, btw, were the first major combat orders handed down by Obama – not the current situation in Marjah, which is widely being reported.)."
