Jihadists in U.S. Army Uniforms Attack NATO Base

Post by C-MAC »

Thought this might be of interest as some here may have served in the units at FOB Salerno and Camp Chapman http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ ... lerno.htm.

Here is the important part;
Two attackers managed to breach the wire protecting Salerno but were killed before they could advance far onto the base, NATO said. Twenty-one attackers were killed — 15 at Salerno and six at Chapman — and five were captured, it said.

Three more insurgents, including a commander, were killed in an airstrike as they fled the area, NATO said.

The Afghan Defense Ministry said two Afghan soldiers were killed and three wounded in the fighting. Four U.S. troops were wounded, NATO officials said.

If you want to be successful at anything, you'll need to develop a never quit attitude. Don't let life happen to you. Grab it by the throat and make life dance to your tune.
