John D. McHugh – Combat Outpost

John D. McHugh drops us a line to tell us that his latest report from Afghanistan for The Guardian is up on the site. John has been filing multimedia reports from the frontline in Helmand over the past year. As he says in his email,

This is without doubt the most difficult and dangerous place I have worked so far, but I think the film gives a good insight into the futility of the current strategy in Afghanistan, and the pointless dangers the soldiers are facing every day. link

John’s about to take a short break from Afghanistan as he’s getting married this coming Saturday. Congratulations from all at the club John.
