Awesome, Dio! It's a shame the news media seems to have forgotten our men and women in uniform hard at work in Afghanistan. You have some wonderful pics of them here.

Thank you for your time and efforts in putting your threads together.

The second battalion of U.S. trained afghani regulars graduated last month and are now at work. Instilled with values of sacrifice, honor and professionalism, they are little by little bringing safety and security to their people:

Mohammad Sultan stood straight and tall at the Madar village checkpoint, watching for smugglers and weapons as residents came and went. Snow fell on his new national army uniform, but he didn’t mind.
For many soldiers it would be tedious, boring work, but for this 28-year-old, it was an extraordinary and happy moment.
At last he was doing what he had been trained to do: serve his country by trying to bring about stability. “I will go to any place when ordered,” he told IWPR proudly, “and will bring peace to the residents of our regions.”

You're right about the media ignoring our accomplishments over in Afghanistan and, especially the freedom that their women now enjoy.

I wonder why 60 Minutes,20/20 or the other "News"magazine shows have not done this,it would make for a great hour (or more) of television and give America a great feeling of pride in herself.

I think I just answered my own question. Maybe FOX could pick up on the idea.
