 Afghans own the Arghandab
Less than a year ago, the Arghandab valley was the most dangerous place in Afghanistan. The Soviets used to call the Arghandab River Valley “The Heart of Darkness.” It’s where Mullah Omar first formed the Taliban in 1994 and it’s where the famous Battle of Arghandab was fought in 2008. Today, despite some long-suffering Taliban holdouts, the valley is a peaceful place. At least it is in the village of Kvahjeh Molk. This is due in large part to the efforts of the brave warriors of Company A, 1st Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment.
