Just writing about this but for those that think that Afghanistan is a safe place just because the media doesn't report here like Iraq. Think again. My combat convoy hit an EID, granted no one was hurt just some vehicle damage, but it really makes you understand that you are in a combat environment. The IED was some rocket tops that spread debri 18 feet into the air. It was a command detonated IED. We were reconning a route to a location, but the route was in "Taliban country". Needless to say all my guys in my vehicle displayed a lot of courage and I'm glad I was with them on that day. Many of them after I said you'll probably get a CIB or CAB badge for this everyone was cheering.
The Taliban have messed with the wrong guys and I personally want some payback. We will be back there we don't scare easily.
