27 Sept 08: "Two Canadians hurt during outpost attack in Afghanistan"

[GAP]

Ummmm!

Two completely different wars.  Two different cultures.  Completely different tactics.  Different weapons and resources.  Different terrain.  Absolutely no similiarities at all, other than them being the 'enemy'.

I agree

After reading that last article supplied by milnews, yes that is quite different, I stand corrected, a vehicle patrol PB is definitely different than a FOB.

FYI, the guy on his way home will be fine and is in good spirits.

Good to hear, Brihard, and thanks for sharing.

I got a feeling it will be a long hard winter in the twilight zone for our boys and girls. Give'm hell! Ubique

Get well soon to the wounded. I'm just curious, roughly how many TB attack an outpost?

Section/Squad size -/+ (what the Taliban call a "Delgai") usually if they want to make some noise, but could be one or two guys if its just harassment.  Well, even the larger attacks are just harassment, but they're more agressive harassment.
