Vanity Fair photographer Tim Hetherington accompanied 2nd Platoon on Operation Rock Avalanche. After breaking his foot during a nighttime mission with the platoon, he continued to walk on it for hours before finally making it to a village where he was able to later get onboard a chopper that took him to an Army hospital where he underwent surgery. He is expected to make a full recovery and hopes to return to Afghanistan next year to continue covering the soldiers of the 2nd Platoon.
