Afghanistan: America at War

Tucked away in the corners of the war in Afghanistan, infantry troops perform some of the most arduous tasks of the military. While working on his story, Adam Ferguson was embedded with Lima Company of the 3rd battalion, 6th Marines, in northern Marja District. His work is a tale about grunts on the frontline, a place where routine occasionally lapses, honesty sometimes surfaces and persistence must prevail.
