Operation Anaconda in 2002 was the first major coalition offensive in Afghanistan that involved large numbers of A.N.A. – as you might imagine, it was a complete clusterfuck. Don’t believe us? Watch the episode.
ABOUT SEASON 7
Introducing Violent but True Stories Season 7 – the season where we’ll dive into the nitty-gritty of the Global War on Terror with all the seriousness of a cat chasing a laser pointer. Think of it as a crash course in international affairs, served with a side of humor and a sprinkle of sarcasm.
It’s time to examine, analyze, and, let’s be honest, scratch our heads a bit at the audacity of declaring war on an abstract noun. So buckle up, grab your adult beverage of choice, and join us as we take a stroll through the Global War on Terror.

There's no replacement for mountain training, and I mean the real thing. Not "cold weather training" or "rappelling". I read the X report right after the Rangers finished the battle, and they thought they were post-holing in waist deep snow lying at an angle of 45 degrees, which they were wrong about. My point is, we made our boys suffer and expected sheer toughness to be a cure for altitude, which is wrong like a dog in a cat's crib. It is so very wrong – the army needs to understand its terrain and they didn't in this battle. No disrespect meant for the individual soldier – it was an operational failure.
