Those Marines make me proud. They're very impressive; I worry, though, about their morale. Besides having the knowledge about the Afghan leaders & being helpless to do anything about it, trying to train them & make them understand human decency is quite a challenge.

I still believe as much as I did from Day1 that commandos should have been used instead of going to war.

I'm going to watch the second part tomorrow.
