US Army Medics in AfghanistanLast month was the deadliest for US and allied forces in Afghanistan since the war began. At least 42 American troops and 23 more international troops died in July, most in the volatile Helmand Province in the south. Five more were killed there over the weekend. The World’s Aaron Schachter spent last week embedded with a team of army medics working just behind the front lines in southern Helmand.

    Fascinating. I’m a 26 yo civillian and I think about our guys over there almost every day. All I can do is wonder what it’s really like, thanks to the embedded journalists we have a better idea. Thank you.
