COMMENTS: NBC’s Maceda Fights Killer Wasps
While ABC's Martha Raddatz mixed it with the military brass, reporting on a secret meeting in Belgium to plan future deployments in Afghanistan, NBC's Jim Maceda was on the ground with the grunts. Maceda has just finished a two week ordeal in the city of Now Zad in Helmand Province, "or as some call it Apocalypse Now Zad, a hellish mix of 130F heat and killer wasps." The city once had a population of 20,000 but is now "a ghost town in brutal conditions" where some 300 Marine Corps fighters square off against Taliban guerrillas for control of a strategic smugglers' riverbed. "There are no hearts and minds to win--instead a no man's land riddled with mines and IEDs." And check out those scary killer wasps.
