American grunts in Afghanistan through French eyes

This is an English translation, rough in spots, from a blog entry originally written in French. The reference to the "TV series" appears to be to "Band of Brothers" You won't find anything like this in the MSM.
RTWT.
from 5 AM onwards the camp chores are performed in beautiful order and always with excellent spirit. A passing American helicopter stops near a stranded vehicle just to check that everything is alright; an American combat team will rush to support ours before even knowing how dangerous the mission is - from what we have been given to witness, the American soldier is a beautiful and worthy heir to those who liberated France and Europe.

Thanks. We think so too. Today's U.S. military is probably much more professional than the army that liberated France and Europe.
