Anyone watched the above two documentaries? They are pretty good
and they center around the early days of the US-Taliban War.
Specifically, it focuses on a prison where 8000 Taliban POWs
revolted and took over the prison.
Both documentaries have good footage but i prefer "the house of
war". One scene that sticks in my mind was when US special forces
called in an airstrike on their ally's command post! Major screw
up. Another good scene shows some Northern Alliance soldiers trying
to clear Talibans from a fire trench - Only to get flanked by other
talibans!
"The Afghan Massacre" tries to build a case against the US for war
crimes against the Taliban POWs. One of the main charges made
against the US was that its soldiers condoned the summary execution
of Taliban soldiers who had been supposed to be handed over to the
UN. A great documentary too! It also provides an insight into how
Afghanistan really works; the Warlords essentially run the
show.
Highly reccomended!
Watch today!
