Title: The Battle for Bomb Alley - Afghanistan - Part 1/2 - HD
Added: Jul 31, 2011

Duration: 14:30
Description:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yc4ffFor four years, thousands of British servicemen fought with the Taliban for the district of Sangin - the most violent part of Afghanistan. The fighting cost 106 British lives, including Staff-Sergeant Olaf Schmidt, who won the George Cross there.Last year, the British withdrew - handing the area over to the US Marines. Ben Anderson, who was with the British forces in 2007, returns to see if the Americans are faring any better. His remarkable film follows Lima Company, a unit of the US Marines, as they dodge improvised bombs and struggle to reclaim the same territory the British previously occupied.As the war enters its tenth year, with Sangin still far from secure, real questions remain as to what so many British men died there for.

Sep 13, 2011 - Lol ok. Want to know a secret? The Hme in the jugs didn't complet blow. it was old and weathered. Thats why it was still burning in the ground. However there was enough force to put me on my ass and send a mixture of machine gears and nuts and bolts all around us in the walls. The gears wear almost half the size of my palm and wear heavy as shit. Big t was a grade 3 conc. Rhodes and myself where only grade 2 and where back with the squad that night.
