God Bless your brave son!!

Yes, I am aware of that as it just happened, and they are probably still identifying them on the ground as we speak. I know this is a difficult story for ANY family of our brave men and women here at home to see and hear about.

I also know that from compiling a website on each and every fallen soldier/troop in Iraq, that the majority of these families are proud of their loved ones. From the Somalia survivors who weren't dragged through the streets on that horrible video, they say "Salute them, and never forget."

Where does the news of the helicopter in Afghanistan come from? Is it a rumour, or confirmed?

I just saw .. I'm sorry, but Drudge was wrong to post that

Prayers to the soldiers and their family's

There is something tha does not make sense with this incident vs others.

First, why were they alone and why did no one apparantly know their status and whereabouts?

Why have the previous reports of "throats being slashed" now turned into "beaten with concrete blocks by teens?

Something is not right with this one. No one seems to be asking questions either.

Unknown gunmen shoot up this UNMARKED SUV carrying two US soldiers.....this smacks of an ambush staged from inside info.

You bet it does .. teenagers my butt

Fox....they just did a News alert....

Why have the previous reports of "throats being slashed" now turned into "beaten with concrete blocks by teens?

Two different incidents I think.

Tht video is of Chechen rebels executing a Russian soldier three or four years ago.

Now they are saying it was shot down....

I just reported myself to the moderators, so perhaps they will remove the pictures. Here is what I wrote, so you know where I am coming from:


"I am reporting myself, as people on these boards seem to think this is a bad idea. I have explained where I am coming from - that we should salute them, this should strengthen our resolve, and we should not forget we are at war with evil.

If you feel I have made a mistake in posting these pictures on the forum, please remove them.

I mean no disrespect to these men. They died for me. I want them to be remembered as heroes who paid the ultimate price for my freedom."

God, give these poor families strength....there by the grace of God, go I.

I am right there. I have a 14 year old son; and wondering what I will advise him to do when he becomes of registration/draft age; or whether he should aspire to one of the the Academies - he is definite officer material.

It looks more and more that the troops are sitting ducks.

For stateside morale, we need some news off big retaliations of such outrage as this.

I think it is the same incident. According to a report on the radio news, which I heard this morning, the vechile was fired on which caused it to crash. Then the attackers closed in quickly and cut the throats of the two soldiers in the car.

It was after that that a crowd of Iraqis descended on the car, and dragged out the bodies and threw rocks on them. The Australian journalist who reported this claimed to have spoken to eye witnesses.

Do you know what gets to me? Its FREAKIN TEENAGERS who did this -- NOT ENEMY SOLDIERS BUT FREAKIN TEENAGERS!!!

Freekin' teenagers or not, they most surely ARE enemy combatants. Make no mistake about that.

Time to get the MOABs out.

As if the body in that pic is recognizable...

Although my first reaction is that we made a mistake when we didn't create an exceptionally large glass parking lot out of the entire country, I do think we need a measured reaction to this: round up evey single teen-aged male within a 10 mile radius, put them in a prison camp without food or water, and let them know that they'll stay there until someone turns the perps in or they all die. They can drink their own p*** and eat their own s*** for all we care, but no talkee, no eatee and no drinkee.

If they perps are turned over to us, they should be tried by military tribunal and, upon conviction, executed by public hanging. Slit open the dead bellies and let pigs eat their entrails, and let vultures have the rest.

If someone dies before we get the perps handed over to us, leave the dead festering carcass in among them.

These fallen soldiers will never be forgotten

But posting and airing their bodies .. will only hurt their loved ones

[BlackVeil]

Hell. Thanks for the update, anyway. I did suppose that it would be shot down. There also was a bombing of a Kabul hotel, for which the Taliban claimed responsibility, yesterday.
