National Geographic has done a yeoman job of explaining the "cat and mouse" nature of the conflict between Green Berets at Fire Base Cobra and Taliban insurgents hiding in the mountains.
The soldiers try to win villagers away from supporting the Taliban. The insurgents intimidate the villagers and try to kill the U.S. forces with snipers and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Fueling the situation is a spy and communication network that enables insurgents to track the Americans' moves, planting roadside bombs along the way. (IEDs, says one Green Beret, are "the coward's way of fighting.")
