'It's taken a year to move 20km' in Afghanistan

The troops are doing wonderful work under tough conditions.  This video from the Guardian has some bloody details--yes, bloody.  The reporter notes that it is 55 degrees centigrade.  That is 130 degrees F.  130!  And these guys are walking and running with all the gear to get the wounded ... I was beginning to feel sick from merely watching the video, and forced myself to watch the entire video.
The call to prayers in the morning calm all of a sudden comes across as a surreal Hollywood video clip.  For a few seconds.  Then, we are reminded that it is the war, with injuries and death.
I wish them all well, and hope that the entire US and NATO forces will quit Afghanistan soon and the troops will return home safe.

Can we please end the war there and in Iraq too?
