In a war zone, firepower is often met with firepower. In the war on terror, when it comes to fighting between the Taliban and the United States, the Taliban on occasion has the element of surprise. Most of the fighters know the terrain as they were born and raised in the region. However, when it comes to actual firepower, there is nothing on this planet that compares to a strike from the United States. So when a Taliban member fires on individuals of the United States Army, they are almost always picking a fight they are not going to win.
The United States military has been fighting the Taliban for several years now. While pockets of the Taliban still exist, much of the fighting force has either been captured, killed or they simply gave up their will to fight. This is why very little in the way of news now comes from Taliban encounters. However, when news does come up and video footage surfaces, it is almost always showing a misstep taken by a Taliban solider and how they pay for it.
In a recent video release, a Taliban sniper takes a shot at United States soldiers. The sniper misses, despite there being a full convoy of troops in plain sight. The United States soldiers could not allow the Taliban member to get away, so they took it upon themselves to fire back. Watch as the army unit unleashes their full fury of their wrath on the Taliban.
