 If I can't neutralize the target, I'm going to do a target hit. Afghanistan is a war zone where anything can happen, and being prepared is smart. Look to your left. There's always the possibility of danger series, suicide bombers. We are in Afghanistan. America and her allies have been fighting in this land for 11 years at a cost. More than 3,000 coalition fatalities have been reported since the start of Operation Enduring Freedom. More than 2,000 are U.S. As much progress as we made, we're still in a war zone. Colonel Andrew Rowling commands Task Force Bayonet. His headquarters, like all others in this land, keeps alive the memories of those who paid the ultimate price. One like many others is on his fourth deployment in the last decade, the second to Afghanistan. It's sometimes hard to look back and say, is the sacrifice worth it, but you have to believe it and I do believe it. Command Sergeant Major Thomas Cappell is another who's served multiple tours. Now as the ISAF Command Sergeant Major, he crisscrosses the country, bringing messages of support, encouragement and gratitude. We are engaged in a war, but when you look around and you see all the good things that have been done around the world, that's what we do. That's why we join our service to protect our country. It brings freedom to the American people around the world and they're doing a great job doing it. Colonel McCabe, Afghanistan.
