U-S warplanes continue to pound parts of Afghanistan today, despite yesterday's deadly bombing accident.
Three Green Berets were killed by friendly fire, when a satellite-guided missile missed its target north of Kandahar.
The soldiers are being remembered as men who loved their jobs and country.
Five Afghan fighters were also killed.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has ordered an investigation into why the bomb went off target.
Meanwhile, President Bush is poised to veto a defense bill that contains 15-BILLION dollars MORE than what he wants to fight terrorism.
Democrats want the added money for vaccines, helping New York, enhancing border and airport security and funding the war against Afghanistan.
CINDY PENA has more now from Washington.

((SO HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND HERE?

IF YOU'RE LIKE JUDY RUTKOSKY, YOUR PUPILS ARE POOPED.

(SOT- VINCETT "Oh, this is probably one of the best things she will
ever do for her eyes.")

DOCTOR WILLIAM VINCETT IS JUDY'S OPTOMETRIST.
TODAY, HE'S FITTING HER WITH PRESCRIPTION COMPUTER GLASSES.

(SOT-VINCETT :Reading is at 16 inches, typically at 22, 23 inches away
is where a computer is, and as a result, we sit there for hours and hours at teh same position of our glasses that we would use to drive a car.)

A PHARMACIST WHO OFTEN WORKS 12 HOUR DAYS, JUDY SUFFERS BLURRED VISION AND EYE FATIGUE.
BUT WITH THE PROPER PRESCRIPTION, SHE SEES THE SCREEN, IN FOCUS.

(SOT-RUTKOSKY "They make the monitor less fuzzy. My eyes do not get
tired at the end of the day, and also it's clearer. And also I'm able to look at the monitor and look at the prescription without any kinds of problem whatsoever.")

(SOT-VINCETT JR. "Anybody who really is over the age of 45, 47 years
old is when this starts to become a real problem for everyone. As a result we really need to give them some proper correction at the computer.")
(STAND UP- BELL "Optometrists have been selling computer glasses for 10, maybe even 15 years. But the big, newer business that's booming now is online. Type in "computer glasses" on the internet.. we found 221-thousand web sites, all of them the same sort of stuff. Inexpensive computer glasses that sound like good deals. But are they good for your eyes?")

IS THERE A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JUDY'S 300 DOLLAR PAIR, AND THESE LENSES YOU CAN BUY ONLINE?
DOCTOR VINCETT SAYS YES.

(SOT-VINCETT :People would expect you to say that. You don't want to
lose business to some $29.95 operation. Seriously, thought, you say don't do it. I don't think that it's in your best interest. One of teh things we find is if you're going to spend 25 percent of your day on a computer or more, it makes no sense for you to be blurry during those times. And if you have the wrong prescription, it really just isn't appropriate.)))
