Letterman visits Afghanistan
BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AP) — American late night TV star David Letterman spent Christmas Day with U.S. troops at a rugged desert base in southern Afghanistan where coalition forces have been hunting down suspected terrorists for a year, the military said.
The Late Show host flew into the U.S. base at Kandahar on Christmas Eve and dined with troops there, said Maj. Bob Hepner, 36, from Mount Joy, Penn.
Letterman was also due to visit Bagram Airbase, the U.S. military headquarters in Afghanistan, but the trip was cancelled because of bad weather.
