it reflect the majority of leaders and soldiers who serve here every day as

The soldier, whose name has not been released, had been held in Kuwait after
he was flown out of Afghanistan on Wednesday.
The shooting of villagers has harmed relations between Afghanistan and the
United States and Afghan President Hamid Karzai accused the Pentagon of
failing to fully cooperate with an investigation into the killings.
