I missed it, but sounds like a typical 60 Minutes advocacy piece. While those guys' job is to keep the road clear of mines, there are others whose job it is to get the bad guys, and still others who help train Afghans to take responsibility and otherwise help the country get its act together. Analogy: If 60 Minutes did a story purportedly about state government, but only followed the routine of the crews who keep the sewage lines clear, and whose idea of "winning" is to keep the sht flowing to the treatment plant without getting an e-coli infection, you might get the impression that the state's only job is to keep sht flowing with no other goal. War is hell, no doubt about it. Did 60 Minutes show any of the good things we're doing over there? Doubt it.
