Quote by: Praxius  Here's a silly question..... are these police checkpoints marked and recorded? If so, then why would the US forces think there were Taliban at a Police Checkpoint? If they are not marked, then why arn't they?
Second.... we got two different sides to the story, yet again..... which one is the truth? Probably, we'll never know.
And thirdly, why the hell didn't they inform one another in the first place where they were stationed and their missions?

The checkpoints are temporary and set up at random, similar to our cops setting up drunk driver checkpoints. If they were long-term or marked, the word would quickly get out and the bad guys would simply avoid them.
We often don't inform the Afghan police about our ops because there are too many security leaks and our troops would get ambushed.
