From the VFArchive: 'The only thing keeping the Taliban from overrunning this place is American airpower,' an Afghan man in Kandahar told Sebastian Junger in 2006. Revisit the original story:

Four years into a nearly forgotten conflict, the 20,000 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan are learning to wage war by every possible means.

While the Taliban's weapon is terror—the rape, torture, and execution of civilians— the Americans are relying on cheap vegetables, soccerballs, and paved roads, as well as Predator drones and A-10 Warthogs. From Kandahar to the mountains of Zabol, SEBASTIAN JUNGER experiences a new kind of combat as the world's most powerful military grapples with a vicious small-scale insurgency in the shadow of a supposed U.S.
