...house without a bottle of water, even if in a well-air conditioned car—they overheat (I learned this the hard way a few miles outside of town). I always keep Chap Stick and moisturizing lotion with me, following a few painful days of split lips and peeling fingers.

U.S. Marines were deployed on Afghan soil to seal off avenues of retreat. The fall of Kandahar?whether by surrender or defeat?will peel away the terrorists' last major base of support.
