Turning Tables, U.S. Troops Ambush Taliban With Swift and Lethal Results
By C. J. CHIVERS
The infantryman’s war in Afghanistan is often waged on the Taliban’s terms, but a patrol from the First Infantry Division reversed the routine.


Interviewed by Tom Brokaw for his book “The Greatest Generation,” Mr. Guthman recalled how he had not been awarded a degree by the University of Washington on entering the Army because he had not completed the R.O.T.C. program. Later, Mr. Guthman said, while he was a lieutenant leading an infantry platoon on an Italian hilltop, he received a package from the university dean with a note reading: “Dr. Ed, we think you’ve fulfilled your military obligation. Here’s your degree.”
