Khan Nechion Castle in the hands of our Marines
Posted By Blackfive
Khan Nechion Castle was built by Alexander the Great and was once a fortress for the governors of that area of Afghanistan. The Taliban took it from the Afghans.
And now some Marines and Afghan National Army soldiers took it back. After securing and improving the castle, the Marines intend on giving the castle back to the local government in the next week or two.
This is b-roll (rough footage). Other than the firefight at the beginning, the interviews at the end with some Marine Corporals and Privates is worth the time to watch.
