This afternoon I watched the half hour preview of PBS Frontline’s ‘Obama’s War’ and it was riveting. The small portion shown focuses on a group of Marines attempting to protect a village of civilians in Helmand Province. Their amazing efforts are awe inspiring to me. My only problem with PBS’s job is the name. The war in Afghanistan is not just ‘Obama’s’, it is ‘our’ war. The United States will win or lose the war. If one wants to designate the war to anyone specific, it would be these marines doing the fighting, peacemaking, and dying.
