I can draw parallels with what I know from my library on Vietnam, the fighting taking place from Fire base to Fire base.
The locals staying cool one day and then they are sniping at the soldiers tomorrow.
You wanna see what its like? Well there it is. Up close and in person. Half the time they don't even see who's shooting at them. That's what I hear any way.
They dropped that guy while his legs were still strapped into the stretcher, and it sounded like one of them was hit.
Good luck to the ISAF in their war on the poppy.
