COMMENTS: Vanity, Vanity, All is Vanity
Vanity Fair magazine has reporters embedded with a USArmy battle company fighting in the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan. Last November, ABC's Brian Ross narrated videotape from Tim Hetherington on the mistrust of village elders for the American troops. Now Ross updates us with Sebastian Junger's conclusion to the 15-month mission fighting Pakistan-based guerrillas: "Despite the massive amount of US firepower in the valley, the enemy is everywhere." New-York-based Ross was unimpressed. They came "to win this valley but left without anything approaching a clear victory. Their gains were measured not in miles but yards."
