Embedded With Special Forces in Afghanistan | Black Rifle Coffee Company |
Coffee or Die Magazine's Marty Skovlund Jr. was given exclusive access to embed with a Special Forces team in the mountains of Afghanistan, and accompany them on a combat mission into ISIS-held territory. [Location Nangarhar Valley] These Green Beret's fit the common tropes associated with Special Forces: beards, long-ish hair, and relaxed attitudes along with a few sleeve tattoos sprinkled in for good measure. Although they sport ball caps and Glocks in lieu of cowboy hats and six-shooters, they are frontiersman all the same -- charged with taming the Mohmand Valley. The team operates out of COP Blackfish, an isolated outpost in the Mohmand Valley and only a short walk from where the controversial "MOAB" was dropped last year.
