Is amazing, don't miss. They're building a dam to deliver electricity to one million Afghans. And so they have to truck heavy turbines across the country, in 8 massive tractor-trailers. The massive convoy will be a sitting duck to militant Taliban forces that control the area. Brit, Aussie and Canadian forces protect the convoy. It is called the largest logistical move since WW2. 5000 troops, hundreds of special forces, 30 helicopters, 2 predator drones and 20 jets.

Final tally: 200-250 Taliban fighters dead; zero allied casualties; equipment delivered without a mark on it.
