the first time, their first deployment. even the soldiers said they were ready to get out there and start the mission. as you know, in terms of where they are, they re about an hour, hour and a hoff soualf south of we re here in kabul. their mission is now under way. we were there for the beginning of it. we saw them as they went out on the security patrols. we were with them when they were out there engaging the afghan people, especially some of the children as well as the village elders. and we just just before we wrapped up this round of shooting, we had an opportunity to sit down with some of the men in the unit, talk to them about their thoughts on the war and also about this close bond that they all seem to share. we are not trying to fight them at all. all we do is protect ourselves. we re just trying to get these people together. you know, get them built up to where they can take care of themselves. i think it s the fear of what s going to happen next.
