Hearts and Minds – Afghanistan 2004
Jan 17 at 6:06pm by David Tate
Last year I completed a six-part chronicle in history covering the year of 2004 in Afghanistan. I arguably traveled more miles than any other videojournalist in Afghanistan that year.
In part one of this series, I take a look at the “Hearts and Minds” operation that kicked off in spring of that year. I tag along as the coalition works to inform the people of this country about the upcoming presidential election, as well as helping to bring basic needs, to a needy population.
The idea: By winning hearts and minds, you turn the population against the enemy.
Units covered: 45th Infantry Division (Oklahoma) (ETTs), 205th Corps Afghan National Army, Romanian 280th Infantry Battalion
