August 2007 Australia's hi-tech, lethally-equipped soldiers cut a surreal presence as they cautiously patrol the baking dustbowl of southern Afghanistan, drawing casual glances from turbaned tribesmen and nomadic herders.To the locals, they're Americans wearing a different emblem, but the Australians are trying to carve out a special identity among the 40 nations that have come to Afghanistan on a mission to suppress violence and get society functioning again. The Australians face an unseen enemy who emerges at night to lay hidden roadside bombs then melts back into the villages. "The enemy around here don't wear a uniform like we do -- so it could be anyone, any kid, any person," observes a private. They must vie for the support of a civilian population that is brutalised and cynical with the Taliban who claim that it is the real protector of the people.
