I truly hate writing diaries - would rather have a root canal BUT sometimes there is a greater pain and need.
For the last 24 odd hrs. I have been nearly overwhelmed with hurt that "dying alone in the mountains" has happened to some of ours in Afghanistan.

I really don't get why Afghanistan seems to always get short shrift. There have been several stories about the Chinook Down in Afghanistan and to me it was the biggest story of the past day and night. And, it was, I believe minimalized by the MSM.
Now Dancing Larry has a great diary on this and some of the commentators are just superb.
We have someone who is posting from Kabul right now.
And, AlphaGeek made this wonderful observation: He was deeply moved by the thought that these men had died alone in the mountains.
And there is great mystery as well about the circumstances. Lotta obfuscation going on.
PLEASE read and recommended this diary. Don't let it fail and fall away.
