Thank you, Matthew Nickerson, for reporting the fit things our troops and America are doing in Afghanistan, as related at Lt. Col. David Naisbitt [nation/world story, Aug. 15] and repercussion of sounded by so many other service the bulk of mankind returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Too many newspapers are all too anxious to find sole the bad news in this conflict and in doing likewise not only demoralize the public however our troops in harm's way. The "war forward terror" is not a quip as we can see from the mostly recent occurrences in the UK This could have been an affair of incredible proportion and would have had a catastrophic general intent on our economy, just when we finally have horizontaled off from 9/11.

Now is not the time for partisan politics or agendas. We are at war, and it is a war we must not be deprived of Otherwise, life as we know it, regardless of what party is in power, will not be the same again.
