globeandmail.com: U.S. brings Iraq-like surge to Afghan conflict
Eighty-eight comments to this article. If you find ONE that's complimentary to America, the U.S. armed forces, or the U.S. Marine Corps, please let me know. I quit after forty-four w/ nil, nada.
Worse- never have I read such a collection of uninformed nonsense. The ONLY tanks in Afghanistan are Canadian but, don't you know, it'll be AMERICAN marine tanks tearing up farmers fields and undoing all the good work of our Canadian brothers with our heavy-handedness and firepower.

I reviewed the article and comments
in your link. as you say many of the comments are off base.
One thing that I am great full for is the contributions of our allies no matter how small or big. I find very little acknowledgment by some of our leaders for their service, if I was Canadian and was reading this article I might feel that there is little appreciation for our service but plenty of criticism of our tactics.
