Slideshow: Life at Checkpoint 2.5

While John D McHugh was making The Winter War  for Al Jazeera’s People & Power series, he spent three days in a tiny US outpost called Checkpoint 2.5 in Kunar, eastern Afghanistan. The footage did not make it into the film, but in this audio slideshow, he gives a sense of what it is like for the US soldiers of 2/27 Infantry to live in such a remote and vulnerable posting.
