Yea we did out air assaults in the Korengal and Pech and most of the time we would do dismounts or foot patrols in Wanat.

But yea, they renamed Blessing Nangalam. Thank the 25th for that. We lost quite a few people, about 20 not including our own terps (we used the Afghan ones as well). From what I understand they have completely pulled out of Pech, Korengal and the area where Honaker and Penich was. Makes me sad knowing it was for near nothing.

Yup, hell Honaker (Restrepo etc too) was one of our guys that got killed. The 16 was just my company in that valley, not to mention Battle and Able Co. guys. Lost 9 in my platoon at Wanat setting up the fucking base for 1st and they just abandoned it the second we left. Fuck it, I just try and keep in mind none of us ever really fought for goat shit covered land.

Yea I hear ya. There weren't many dudes there that were fighting for those fuckers. Better to keep in mind that we all joined and fought for our own reasons, none being to liberate people that did not want to be liberated.
