Check out FNC reporter Greg Palkot's latest Reporter's Notebook from his most grueling embedment ever, with the Marines in Afghanistan during "Operation Mountain Lion":

During the five-hour wait through the night for the chopper, a firefight burst out behind the next hill over between our troops and insurgents. It was kind of like waiting for a bus and you’re watching a shootout at the next bus stop over. Mortars, machine guns, tracer fire, flares and then, just for good measure, an A-10 Warthog fighter plane. This plane sounds like a mammoth buzz-saw in the air when it rips up the landscape with bullets.


Check out Palkot's amazing reporting in this video clip from "Special Report with Brit Hume, including this quote from an inspiring Marine Colonel who talks about why he re-enlisted and what Operation Mountain Lion means to him:



Col. Nicholson: [The Taliban is] about to experience the same fear in their hearts they tried to inflict upon Americans.
