Mountaintop Revenge (1x11)

Air date: Aug 05, 2013

While on a mission to check on the locals of the village near the American Forward Operating Base (FOB) Kala Gush in the mountains of Afghanistan, an Army platoon is attacked by the Taliban. Gunner Spc. Kyle Schipritt becomes wounded while getting peppered with shrapnel — and miraculously makes it out alive. This FOB is under attack day and night, and before long, Schipritt is back on the road — only to be hit again by flying shrapnel. Also, Taliban on mountain side positions fire down on a U.S. Army patrol in an Afghan village.
