Bari Alai, this Combat Outpost (COP) was attacked about a month ago and completely over run. Several Americans were killed and around 15 ANA went missing. This COP is not far from other American bases but every once in a while the enemy gets lucky or we get lazy. Actually, the Afghan population has been bearing the real brunt of this conflict as the Taliban an Al Qeada have been turning to attack easier targets. The events that took place here show that the war is far from over and that only through constant vigilance will the Afghans and Coalition Forces achieve real change in this country.
