There's a (relatively) famous picture from earlier in Afghanistan of a Special Forces Soldier, kneeling down wearing full kit. He's reaching out and handing something to a very young Afghan girl, standing there, barefoot and smiling...so happy she's has her tongue out touching her upper lip.
I had the photo blown up onto poster board and cut out couple years ago for my old office. Someone brought it in to me yesterday and I showed it around my new office. I couldn't believe the ambivalent reaction most had in my office to the picture. It's a powerful photo and speaks volumes about the character of of Soldiers and the mission and why we must succeed.
I naively expected people to at least acknowledge how cute the little girl was. Instead, the reaction was "Yeah, that's nice. "
Maybe I'm making something out of nothing, but it bothered me.

IMHO, sir, you were not being naive. You were reacting appropriately to a meaningful event in your life. The fabric of our world has been muddled by PC crap for so long, and people's emotions have been raped for so long, that now the public at large doesn't know how to react to the things they witness. There's a greater danger in
that than there is in any of the brutalities we've seen in this link. IMHO.
