I am very sad at hearing of this young man's loss. We are very fortunate to have such brave and competent allies.

[@atklm1]

A soldier died to IED inside CV90? Was it the old model? CV90 should be able to withstand even the largest 10kg anti-tank mines.

[@mensamlucerna4220]

IED can be anyhting in from a fart to a nuke, 1 kg tnt, 10000 kg tnt, both can be IED. Besides regardless of the vehicle surviving anyone inside can be thrown around by the blast and risk breaking their neck slaming into the roof or getting hit by loose heavy objects. If I was a giant putting you into a metal box before voilently shaking it, the box would be fine, you... probably not.

[@paulhetherington4382]

I would be scared out my mind - in that road and surrounding. Easily an ambush zone.

[@Lemuron01]

There would always be someone taking the high ground around any valley they went through. They would not go into that unless they first controlled the heights overlooking it. They just don't show it here. Might have been because of operational security.. can't say for sure why they didnt show it.

[@sorennilsson9742]

There seem to be the story of loosing controll of terrain, that is not a good sign. When you lost this area you will lose the next. The story of the Vietnam War?

[@udonword4583]

+bladwin321 lol and true

[@dahlski]

To be serious, think the beardless soldiers stems from WWI were gas was a real threat and a beard could get you killed as the hairs would allow gas to trickle in under your gasmask. Look at the American civil war, some dynomite mustaches and beards there. These days gas isn't a threat anymore so you will see bearded soldiers.

[@niklas2378]

the idea of not shaving your beard comes from the fact that when shaving you remove the natural oils in yor skin and increase the risk of facial frostbite. therefore norwegian soldiers are told not to shave when in a combat environment

[@feonor26]

In Afghanistan you get more respect from the locals and village elders if you have a beard, sounds crazy but it's true. So if they're going to have a relationship with the locals and negotiate with them, it is better to have a beard than clean shaven.

[@blasty137]

Irjyk Sunhill I'd rather call you dumb for taking a joke literally, and still why do you think that 32C is particularly hot? Even in Serbia temperatures regularly go over 40C during summer, while in Afghanistan they can reach even 50. I know from my own experience that the difference between 30 and 40 is huge, between 30 and 50 it is extreme.

They weren’t there to fight, they made schools and hospitals, trained the afghan army so they wouldn’t need help from any other country so they could leave. They donated billions. Ungrateful shit, Afghanistan lost their freedom when they left.
