CNN Producer Tommy Evans and Nick Paton Walsh were embedded with U.S. Troops at combat outposts in Afghanistan during moments of rest, and moments of extreme stress and fighting against the troop's opposition.
In the blink of an an eye, or the snap of a camera shutter, things can change. Tommy captured many moments during these times, which show as best as a picture can, what life is like in a mountainous war zone such as Afghanistan. Back|Story really feels the power and emotion that a still picture can capture and we know you do too.
So that is why we called Tommy while he was in Afghanistan and asked him to talk to us about these images; talk to us about what they meant, and the stories behind them as the journalist who took them.
A new Back|Story series that unearths fascinating new secrets about places and stories you thought you knew. Every other Thursday on Back|Story

Tommi and Nick, thanks for daring to go front line. Whoa! it is a very powerful experience isn't it?
It wil help us appreciate our Men in Uniform, it wil help us criticize them objectively and help us appreciate life for what it really is.
Thanks for the pics, guys.
God bless.
such pixs n videos to some can be seen as location pixs in war movies. but these are risk taking in the front line of war-torn-zones where enemies carry explosives in their teeth. tommy n co. are certainly war heroes too.
A bit srpurseid it seems to simple and yet useful.
Why does this have to be the ONLY reillbae source? Oh well, gj!
