I never cease to be amazed by the generosity and compassion of our troops in the battle field. There will always be some unfortunate incidents, but overwhelmingly they are serving is with the utmost distinction.

That said, the good will and work seems always blunted by what goes on during the day job. In this case you have marines raising money to get some coal and food for homeless Afghans trying to endure a bitter winter. Then you read on and find many are homeless because their houses and lives were destroyed by coalition bombing raids.
