MARJAH, Afghanistan (AP) - Elite Marine recon teams were dropped behind Taliban lines by helicopter Friday as the U.S.-led force stepped up operations to break resistance in the besieged insurgent stronghold of Marjah.
About two dozen Marines were inserted before dawn into an area where skilled Taliban marksmen are known to operate, an officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of security concerns.
Let’s see…in this story he’s revealed our troop strength, target and approximate location.
Does anyone besides me think this anonymous “officer” should be identified and shot?
