They just suffered a surprise attack at one of their outposts.
They lost 3 men, counterattacked, pursued the enemy as the enemy fled towards nearby hills, surrounded the enemy and killed at least 11 enemy.
These guys are some of the only guys in a long time to not take the 'easy' (much better pay, fairly safer) road by not opting to work for a local warlord. They are the guys who are 'buying in' to the idea that Afghanistan can be a stable and self governed member of the world community, and they are buying in with their own lives.
So drink a beer for these guys at dinner tonight. Not a bad job considering they were surprise attacked by an enemy who has combat experience.
