A platoon from the 1st Infantry Division give the Taliban a taste of their own medicine.
Maybe this will satiate A4's quest for something a little more exiciting.

You have to admire the[ir] discipline.
Great read. Definitely a good way to start my Saturday morning with my cup of coffee.

That's excellent journalism & writing by, gulp, the New York Times. Also, that ain't the old "Action" [draftee] Army that fought in Viet Nam. Those guys are good, and, yes, Lt. Justin Smith & Sgt Reese might have excellent careers in the Army if they so choose. Let's all give the Army a Bravo Zulu for that one.
Note: This was 1st Infantry Division - not Green Berets, not Rangers, just fairly standard Army ground pounders. That really says something for where our Army has gotten to over the past 2 decades or so.

Agreed. What struck me was the age. 19, 21, lead by a 2 Lt. Seeing that makes me proud to be part of this generation. I'm just a know nothing Ensign in flight school and this guy is leading dudes (Dudes who are 4-5 years younger then I am) into battle. It's a motivating story that really makes me want to finish up and get my wings so I can maybe have a chance to be up there one day and help these guys/gals out.

Yes, you can
For the firearm impaired, that's an ejection port cover for an M-16/AR-15. The little door pops open when you fire the weapon or otherwise move the bolt.

i need me one of those.
Oh wait, i live in Japan where you can't have fun firearms. Can i get that on a sword? Oh wait, can't have those either...
Does the Army have its own version of "Semper fu"/MCMAP?
I know the close-combat Martial Arts Center of Excellence weirdos will be all over this like white on rice.
They have an Army Combatives program that is similar to MCMAP. Wikipedia knows all:
U.S. Army Combatives School
I know the Marines are kicking similiar ass, but the story here refers to an army unit

Is it sick that I instantly recognized the disembodied ejection port cover without having to scroll down? Is it gay that I was able to look away from Puma Swede's enormous rack to do so?
