US Army Ranger Captain Gets Silver Star, Letter Of Reprimand, For Same Battle
The battle of Wanat was the deadliest battle of the Afghan war. Taliban video shows the enemy surrounding a remote outpost, and shooting down on U.S. soldiers like fish in a barrel.When it was over nine Americans lay dead. Their company commander, Capt. Matthew Myer, was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery in fighting off a much larger force. His voice is heard calmly talking to Apache gunships overhead. Posted by: Anonymoose 2010-03-12 |
