Supposedly early today the US military experienced the largest coordinated assault since the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tet_Offensive"]Tet Offensive[/ame] back in the Vietnam War.

Today in Afghanistan 11 of the US military's [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_operating_base"]Forward Operating Bases[/ame] were attacked within 5 minutes. Normally when a FOB is attacked they call for air support and thats that, but in this case they did not have enough air support to handle all the calls. 4 FOBs were lost.

This has not yet been announced on the news. a FOB can be manned from anywhere from 50 to 500 people; as many as it takes to hold a location. It has not been announced how many have dies or how many if any have been captured.
