My grandson is on that border - Airborne Task Force - in "The Valley of Fire" so called for it's daily fire fights, it's frequent mortaring, IED's etc...Hopefully, the trend for the Taliban to turn against AQ takes a leap forward - and hostilities will lesson. (The troops are out there - for 15 months straight. Add to the danger, they're 45 minutes from the nearest running water - 45 dangerous minutes. Can we even imagine what they are enduring?_)
