摘要

It is a tough, complex and until this week largely forgotten war that American troops fight in the high valleys of Kunar and Nuristan. The region is almost too high for helicopters to reach; there are few roads and dense pine forests provide ideal cover for insurgents, with short supply lines to safe havens across the Pakistan border. The advantages of Western technology and firepower are largely nullified.rnThey did not save the small American combat outpost at the village of Wanat in the Weygal valley. Two days after it was built, just after the 4.15am call to prayer on July 13th, intense gunfire streaked into thernbase from the village. Insurgents breached the defences. In fierce fighting, nine American soldiers were killed, more than in any single battle since 2005. Another 15 Americans and four Afghans were injured, out of a garrison of 45 Americans and 25 Afghans. The attackers were beaten back, and reportedly also took heavy casualties. But the "temporary" outpost has since been abandoned to the Taliban.
