Heavy Fighting is Predicted Around Kandahar

Posted August 16th, 2010 by OldWarrior

The bad news in this case is good news to me. What the press is publicizing as bad couldn’t be better but you have to have a military mind to understand it. So grasshopper sit back and listen and allow the military ring man drop some knowledge on you.

The news is that heavy fighting is taking place in the vicinity of Kandahar Province in Afghanistan. When the plan for the summer offensive was made it made the assumption that the Taliban would choose to not engage our forces directly but the exact opposite has happened. Kandahar is the birth place for the Taliban so who ever owns it will get a major propaganda victory. We did not know that keeping this area would be so important to the Taliban. They are throwing everything but the kitchen sink into the battle so it will take us a while longer to take control of the area.

All of our custom military ring customers are aware that plans are made to be changed and that very few things go according to plan during combat. In order to win you must be flexible, innovative, and able to adapt and change quickly. You also need to recognize opportunities when they arise and take advantage of them. This is a grand opportunity to eliminate a large number of the enemy without having to chase them all over the country. It actually makes our job infinitely easier.

It just isn’t possible for them to win in this kind of combat. Yes it will take more time to gain control of Kandahar, but once we do we will take control of the other areas very quickly. The prediction of the military ring man is this; Once we take Kandahar the Taliban will quickly lose control of the other areas that they control. Kandahar will be the first domino in the chain to fall. Once we take Kandahar we will have taken out most of their assets. If you are an opportunist you will see that they are playing right into our hands.
