Default An incorrectly titled Youtube video

Who ever posted this on Youtube clearly can not understand a Scotsman.
The original Arabic text says "ISAF surrounded by Taliban" yet they are clearly not surrounded and I am only hearing 5.56mm weapons being fired nothing seems to be incoming.When you are surrounded and being over whelmed you are unable to mitigate an evolving situation that is not what is happening here on top of that airborne troops are always surrounded by the enemy that does not mean that they are losing.

The cameraman is panicking though he seems to be ANA. I assume that the chatter on the radio is ANA and there must be some ANA with them as they question the fire discipline of troops out of sight.That is discipline when some of your "comrades" are panicking and you keep on.

What is really happening here is that the Royal Army troops (not sure the unit but several are clearly Scots) are in the process of either attacking or counter attacking a Taliban push the clip shown does not indicate who initiated contact but clearly it is not the Taliban that are in control of the situation.
