Very cool.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

What goes on there is, indeed, a brotherhood (and sisterhood) of Americans and Europeans working together on an extremely difficult mission. Is every day peaches and cream? Nope. You would be proud not only of your American troops but also how they and their European counterparts work together to get it done while policymakers and politicians back in their respective countries grapple with a way forward in this most difficult theater of war.
Someday someone will write a book about the good things NATO has done in Afghanistan. It's fascinating.
