In the scheme of things....this is just one "Ho Hum!" Kodak Moment.
Bluntly, I hope there are shed loads of "Trophy Photos" like this....our guys smiling and the Taliban serving as a back drop. Perhaps after several Thousand of these splashed all over the local newspapers they might tweak to the danger of going up against a first rate Military.
Understanding the lack of Literacy in that part of the World....we cannot think a simple paragraph or two would get the message across....but photos are easily understood even by the Village Idiot.
