Our mission right now, the Medevac mission, is a little different from what the Medevac people in Afghanistan would have done, although we didn't have our own Chinooks at the time. I still don't understand the distinction that makes what's happening in Mali a peacekeeping versus a combat mission. It sounds like they're doing more of the same thing they did in Afghanistan than what they would have done in one of our more traditional two-dimensional peacekeeping missions of days of yore.
