"With the intel we've been getting, it's probably a house full of nuns," complains the acerbic First Sergeant Clinton Reiss. After a few minutes of banter the ride out into the rising sun is silent.

Back home at Fort Carson, Reiss's wife waits for him with their 13-year-old daughter who is angered by teachers who say the war is over. - Nir Rosen
