It is some good footage of 2/12 Infantry from the 4th BCT of the 4th ID trying to keep polling places secure on August 20th . This is part 2 of the footage. Part 1 is mostly them talking with ANP and ANP shooting from the back of their trucks. Nothing really exciting per se.

This 2nd part however show our boys full engaged, cross-talking and then the best part…calling in some 2000lb bombs on some enemy hilltop positions. As you will see in this footage, our troops are professional, calm and effectively communicating during the fight.

Staff Sgt. Luis Rosa-Valentin was there to check on his guys.

He lost two legs, part of his left arm, his hearing and some of his
sight to an explosively formed projectile – a hardcore roadside bomb –
but Luis wanted to see that his guys were OK and he came all the way
from Maryland to make sure of it.

If this does not make you proud of our fighting men and women and grab a tissue at the same time, you better check your pulse.
