Attack on the Fourth of July

If you've got Amazon Prime you've got it knocked.
The All Warrior Network presents a story of soldiers from the 4th Brigade Combat Team 25th Infantry Division (Airborne) defending a combat outpost from a massive Taliban attack on July 4th, 2009, five days after the disappearance of PFC Bowe Bergdahl.

This brief (16 minutes) documentary shows a complex Haqqani Network attack on Combat Outpost Zerok in Paktika Province in southeastern Afghanistan. The attackers use direct fire, indirect fire, and a suicide VBIED in a coordinated attack on the COP.

Whoa, that VBIED was huge. Good thing they stopped the truck before it got any closer. Interesting vid but probably not worth the money for those who don't have Prime....unless you've got lots of money.

Fixed. The Weapons Man write up may be a good substitute for those who aren't Prime members and don't want to cough up $5.
