Innocent and not so innocent lives clash in the US war in Afghanistan. In the resulting melee, it's no longer clear who is a friend and who is an enemy, or at what point the one might morph seamlessly into the other. Moral clarity about one's role in the struggle, so clear and compelling from a distance, becomes less black-and-white by the day, muddied in the mud of Afghanistan. The wretched actors caught up in the tragic tale are laser-focused on physical survival whence they do what they have to do. But this does stop them from being burdened by the weight of their actions, necessary or not in any particular moment. Some even carry their thoughts beyond the grave.
