Soldiers have long been
subjected to invidious geiterarional colnparison. It's a
military riie of passage for
new recruits to hear from old
hands that everything from
boot. camp to col)lbat was
tougher before they arrived.
A comparative analysis of
U.S. casualty statistics from
Iraq reveals that after_factoring in medical, doctrinal and
technological
improvements, infantry duty in Iraq
circa 2004 comes out just as
intense as infantry duty in
Vietnam circa 1966 - and
in some cases more lethal.

ST!PHEN GRAHAM
MSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

KABUL, Afghanistan . _ The U.S. military is taking as few, priso.ners as possible
in its campaign against aJcQaida and the
Taliban in Afghanistan, partly to torestall
more complaints about its conduct after at
least eight prisoners died in custody, an
American commander said Monday.
Meanwhile, a second ·u.s. soldier died
in combat in as many days , as the Qew
year saw American forces come under
bomb· attack in the counrry's east and
fight a suspected renegade militia leader
in the west.
One American soldier was killed and
three others were w'ounded in a. Monday
morning clash with Kunar province militants who · detonated two homemade
barrios, triggering a s)jootout.
The mountainous area next . to " the
Pakistani border ·is viewed .as a stronghold
of renegade Afghan warlord Gulbuddin
Hekmatyar, a former prime mini s t~r who
has joined the Taliban in vowing to drive
out foreign troops. ·
Col. Gary Cheek, the U.S. commander
for . . eastern Afghanistan, said the troops
· under his command would be "relentless"
in tlteir pursuit · o'f insurgents. including
some 20 unidentified top leaders, thr-ough ·
the bitter Afghan winter.
But follow.ing a review of the military's
p61icy on detentions last summer, the soldiers were taking as few prisoners as· possible. as they try to win stronger support
from the local population.
"We are always adapting to the changes
in the environment and our commanders,
our soldiers, · are also trying to be more
s·ensitive to the .Afghan culture," Cheek
said. "I've told our commanders, .for
example, to minimize the number of
Afghan · nationals or others fhat they
detain."
.
The U.S. military, which s11'11' commands
18,000 troops Here, has taken thousands of
prisoners in Afghanistan since Operation
Enduring Freedom, Washington's anti-terrorism drive, beg'an after the Sept. II
attacks.
·
Those not released quickly are transferred 1 to larger jails . at U.S. bases in
Bagram and Kandahar. and many have
been sent from there to 'the American
prison for terror suspects at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba.
·

However,. allegations of mistreatment
datingc back to before the prisoner apuse
scandal in Iraq have hurt efforts to .
win over ordinary Afghans.
Spokesman Maj . Mark McCann ~aid ..
f~wer . prisoner~ were now being sen! to
Guantanamo, reflecting. a decline in militant. activity
in ~fghanistan.. Also,
detainees could be freed . this year under a
planned amnesty, he said ..
The official,s gave no figures to show
.whether detention rates had indeed
declined, though Cheek said the !hree ·
holding facil.ities under his control at eastern Afghan bases currently were empty.
Asked about· the September ~eath of a
prisoner at his ow11 headquarters in Khost,
Cheek said the man had complained to a
guard that .he was bitten by, a snake.
A military doctor examined the man,
Sher Mohammed Khan, and found no evidence of a hite. But a medic who checked
on him durin.g the night found that he had
stopped breathing. Doctors w_ere U!Jilble to
revive him. ·
·
J .
Cheek said he had yet ta receive the
results of the autopsy but said he was
confident his troops were treating every
detainee "with dignity and respect."
"If we were to treat those we detain
poorly, it would really hurt our overall
attempts to win the confidence and trust
of the population, so it makes no sense .
for us to abuse prisoners and I will tell
you that we do not do that," he said.
Human Rights Watch .cited Khan's case
in a letter last month to 'Defense Secretary
Donald H. Rumsfeld. ·
It accused the J&gt;.enlagon of dragging its
feet' on investigating at least eight deaths
of Afghan detainees dating back to 2001
and . suggested · quicker action cou'ld have .
prevented abuses in Iraq - a charge U.S.
officials reject.
·
Cheek · said he sent extra forces to
Kunar pruvinct: after Monday's shootout. .
On Sunday, a U.S . soldier and a fqrmet
militia leader were killed in a gunfight

•

card- (the trump ki ng), South invited a ·
grand slam with five no-trumP. Sinpe
