If you would like to help instead of complain and see for yourself, there is many ways to serve humanity as it happens ALL THE TIME HERE every day. You can wear a uniform or not. It rely doesn't matter; each single person can make a difference.

You can either sit back and soak in all the bad and ignore the good while complaining and trying to belittle someone because of their efforts or you can rise up yourself and do something about it and serve others and not your very own selfish needs.

I do not know if people realize this is democracy and freedom happening in front of our eyes; it appeals me to think people do not have a heart and just blow off reality of things. Has Americans forgotten about Woman's suffrage? How your freedoms were once determined by your skin color? When did the first American Woman or another personas skin color get a full one for one vote that counted?

See and read the founders page on the site below. Another Afghan WOMAN making a difference and not complaining about it. What a wonderful nonprofit AFGHAN organization! What a wonderful WOMAN to personally meet; it was an HONOR.

Islam is a sick ideaology. when Mohammad "the best example for mankind for all time" can marry a six year old and have sex with her when she is nine is sick. so sending 7 year olds to bomb is right up thier alley.

Fink I was being sarcastic about the internet. But I did find one story I know is true 100% because I held her in my arms. My wife sent a small childs balnket and a baby rattle for her when she was there at the hospital. I hand delivered it as you could see through the scars the little smile come from her tiny mouth as she interacted with the hospital staff. No she was not a victum from the terrorist but a victum from an accident. But this illistrates that despite your negative out look on things I see the positive.

All,

I hate that the news only shows the bad. But lets but blam on where it rely lies; THAT IS ON THOSE WHO USE CIVILIANS AS HUMAN SHIELDS!

As I have witnessed civilians held by gun point to mass around the Terrorist to put in an IED or directly use them as they attack their very own Afghan security forces.

Or as we detainee a child who was about to set off an IED and question him why he was going to do this. His response was 25 dollars and a new cell phone. Yes the child was released. I cannot view streaming video over here so I am not sure if this is the exact one I mention above. See link below but I know the one I refer to has been released.

Yes war is horrible and innocents are killed in the fog of war. I know this and you know this. I wish the media would print and post the Majority percent of the other side of conflict and war. I want them to see and understand the good that also is going on here. Please see some of the news yourself.

See for yourself. You wanted places and names. Well now you have them!
I guess the internet is an "Official Source". Becuase it is much better then a persons 1st hand eye witness to deliberate targeting of Afghan civilians. Yes please continue to trust in the internet.

"Onward Christian soldiers,marching on to war" does Islam have similar songs?[I do not know]-Do Islamic nations have their version of ministers as officers in the military aiding in the battle psych?[I also do not know that}-just a thought though....I recall the US won ww2 with the atheist Soviet ally against the Christian Germans....

All,

A point I would like to make is when something "Bad" happens and civilians are injured or killed. No matter who is "At fault- so to speak" who provides the medical aid?

I have not come acrossed or witnessed with my own eyes here, on any incident, where the terrorist render aid.

The other thing I would like to bring up. In the US, we are very blessed. We have a 3 digit number we can dial and "first responders" will be there. The Afghans do not have that blessing yet, it is working some what in isloated areas.

I just wanted to point that out. Thank you for reading.

Where is the corroboration for this story? There is only a photo of a boy with a hurt leg and the rest of it is simply conjecture by Mandy Clark..... no names, no places, no times, no witnesses. Do CBS think this is journalism?

America must be suffering from some sort of MENTAL DISORDER.
This explains why Americans perceive it's acceplable to have an
OPENED-ENDED WAR.Killing Children,Killing Women,and everything
Whole-Some...Hence,the term"MUSH for BRAINS AMERICANS"
Only an IMBECILE would believe WAR is NECESSARY.....
The VIRTUE of WILLFULL DECEPTION of SUICIDE.
Yes,AMERICA must be suffering from some sort of MENTAL DISORDER..

pig is the kind of people our enemys love to see posting, they use it as propaganda to show our enemys how low the IQ of the ones they like to project as Americans.
The usual wannabe terrorists are posting as well, it doesn't bother them to see or hear that kids are being tricked or sold by their parents to the terrorists, as long as it isn't their own kids, they don't care who dies, long as it isn't them. They are the real cowards.

The Japanese near the end of WWII trained women, the elderly and children to fight our troops with pointed sticks. And there were people who still wanted to prosecute the war in such a way even AFTER the surrender. I think maybe those in power thought they could sicken our soldiers to death for having to slaughter women and kids. Fortunately we didn't have to find out if that were true.
