Recieved this from a Marine Corps Times reporter. Gentlemen, Good morning. I'm currently downrange for Marine Corps Times with 3/6 in and around northern Marjah, and have been so since the beginning of May. Monday night, we went out with a patrol of Kilo Company Marines from the Five Points area, encountering a cunning attack that included all the typical Taliban tactics -- spotters, sniper fire, motorcycle runners, etc. It wasn't the first time we've been with a group of ambushed Marines this trip, but it was probably the most complicated. I'm not sure if you'd consider it of interest to your readers, but I wanted to humbly pass along a video of some of the kinetic activity that my colleague captured with his camera. It includes some after-the-fact narration from one of the 0351s who was in the fight. http://militarytimes.com/blogs/battle-rattle/2010/05/25/kilo-company-squads-engage-insurgents-after-ambush/ Thanks for the consideration.
