My son - a 2lt/INFANTRY recently returned from a tour - he was in Lowgar province.. he was wounded once and shot twice [body armor saved his life 2x]
the ROE is very restrictive - the old days of "free fire" zones is long gone.. hell - now if you verbally call the enemy "the muj" disrespect the Taliban - some REMFs will bring you up on charges....
I leave 6 Jan for Afghanistan - see you at Dulles...

Your post somewhat illustrates why this war cannot be won. Even with the Russian's barbaric ROE and daily bombing of civilian/military/anything that moved targets even they couldn't make any inroads. Sadly, the USA with their much more conservative ROE, policies and micro management will not fare any better.
Best of luck to you in the Sandbox.
