I will bet that every major media outlet could have a daily feature that would recognize the humanitarian actions of our contingent in Afghanistan....does anyone have an answer why they don't?

KANDAHAR AIR BASE -- Hadiro Akbar wears an oversize grey T-shirt and navy blue athletic shorts, clothes for comfort, but they make her look tiny as she sits in a recovery ward of the Kandahar Airfield hospital.
She is the first Afghan woman I have met at the trauma hospital. In the 10 days CTV has been granted access to the multinational facility, most of the patients have been Afghan soldiers and police, some coalition forces, and children.
She is not in traditional dress and this surprises me a little, yet Hadiro hardly seems concerned. She has bigger worries, though she is stoic and her eyes are bright and confident.
