The war report is coming: Zhari

It could be a make or break trial for United States forces stationed in Afghanistan. As focus shifts towards Taliban strongholds on the Pakistan border, the number of casualties is sure to increase on both sides. Zhari, a major area of focus, is a stranglehold of the Taliban, and presents a clash for positioning to ensue

American forces are attempting to push insurgents back into their homes and doorsteps. Reports suggest it’s happening, but looming is the door-to-door struggle of IED’s and ambushes. It is a double-edged sword of sorts. The battle for Zhari is crucial in the Taliban’s power of the cell-ridden area. A war report will be released this winter and the position of American troops and its allies in Zhari is of the utmost importance.
