On behalf of my son who is fighting in Afghanistan, thank you for bringing attention to the war there ["The Taliban Hunters," by Joshua Hammer, March]. My son has done tours in South Korea and Iraq. When I tell people he is currently in Afghanistan they believe he is safe and say, “thank God he isn’t in Iraq.” But I have spent many days writing condolences to families who have lost loved ones this year in Afghanistan. A bullet or IED there is just as deadly as a bullet anywhere. We are fighting two wars, but the media and Congress seem to recognize only one. -Anne Conrad, Scottsville, AZ
