A well-told story. In a hundred different locations and by a thousand interactions just like this one, every day, will be the final determination if the US and ISAF involvement in this sad, far-away country has made a difference of any kind or will our withdrawal at some mid-distant point on the calendar leave a hole like that in a bucket of water when you remove your fist.
