Good footage, keep it up guys you're doing us proud. Though I would much prefer it if the reporters not talk about manning numbers or show weapons issues, they are what they are but the enemy don't need to hear it first hand.

That reporter was full of garbage. Our mortar men have no problem hitting their targets. I remember two weeks ago our mortar team put a 120 round right on a lone taliban fighter's head. It was reported by the FO that the guy was there one second, and a crater centered on where he was sitting was there the next. The running joke is "I bet that's the last time he'll stand in the open."

I must have missed that statement, I was looking at the footage from the stand point of not showing their defenses or their fields of fire while still conveying what they were doing and the conditions they are living in and still making a difference. Good catch.
