New generation of troops inherits long Afghan war
Marines in Marjah Afghanistan reflect on a decade of conflict with a new cohort of troops joining the 2/9 battalion. Lance Cpl Jacob Adams and Lance Cpl Michael Chatel recall 9/11 memories and a long campaign as they patrol fields with hidden bombs and heroin, opium poppies, and other crops. The turnover among Marines is high with about 70 percent leaving every four years.
