		<description><![CDATA[NAWA, Afghanistan — Josh Habib lay in a dirt field, gasping for air. Two days of hiking with Marines through southern Afghanistan&#8217;s 115-degree heat had exhausted him. This was not what he signed up for.

Habib is not a Marine. He is a 53-year-old engineer from California hired by a contracting company as a military translator. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NAWA, Afghanistan — Taliban militants were nowhere in sight as the columns of U.S. Marines walked a third straight day across southern Afghanistan.
