101st Attacks Taliban with Rockets and Grenades
Published 3 years ago
Members of the 101st Airborne engage Taliban Fighters in a raging gun-battle somewhere in the Panjwayi district of Afghanistan.
Panjwayi is a district in the Kandahar Province of Afghanistan that is most famous for being the spiritual home of the Taliban. The district itself sits approximately 35 kilometers west of the capital city of Kandahar, and is where some of the fiercest fighting in Operation Enduring Freedom took place.
This footage, which was recorded somewhere near what is now the mid-point of Operation Enduring Freedom, shows that even though the United States had mostly pacified a good chunk of the Kandahar Province the Taliban were still willing to give up this area of operations completely.
If you spent any time in the Panjwayi district, we want to hear from you down in the comments section.
