An Army Ranger who was on his 14th deployment to a combat zone has been killed in Afghanistan.
Sgt. First Class Kristoffer B. Domeij, 29, was killed Saturday when the assault force he was with triggered a hidden roadside bomb in Afghanistan's Kandahar Province.
Domeij served four deployments in Iraq and another nine stints in Afghanistan. During that time he was awarded two Bronze Stars. His third Bronze Star, earned during his final tour in Afghanistan, will be awarded posthumously, according to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.
Also killed in Saturday's blast were First Lieutenant Ashley White, 24, a Cultural Support Team member, and fellow Ranger Private First Class Christopher A. Horns, 20, who was on his first combat deployment.

And thank you for your service.
Salute to a Brother.
Amen, Amen.
Wasn’t there an article yesterday stating if we messed with pakistan that afghanistan was going to turn against us?
may God’s Grace shine on this young man.
Why on God’s Green Earth would the military send ANY soldier on more than 3 deployments?
I don’t care how ‘valuable’ an asset that soldier is, isn’t 3 enough?
isn’t it about time we, as citizens, asked that question? and loudly??????
SOCOM Ping
Sheesh, to think that we sacrifice the lives of these formidable men and women for a country that would eagerly stab us in the back.
I am truly sorry, Kristoffer.
We need to leave that stupid country. As far as Iraq strip it of all its oil resources and sell them. Take the $$$ and give every family of men like this $5 million dollars and then give every person that has been over there $1 million. After that apply the money to the national debt.
RLTW!
Sgt. First Class Kristoffer B. Domeij,
First Lieutenant Ashley White,
Private First Class Christopher A. Horns,
.... may each of you brothers rest in peace.
Thank you for your service. May you find peace Sergeant Domeij, you have earned it.
I am sorry that we as a nation, fail to use our blood and treasure in a good way. We are led by morons and political hacks that think it is all a game and good people like you pay the price. RIP our loss is heaven's gain.
Puts this Occupy Wallstreet crap in perspective...Gods speed soldier!
Prayers up for Sergeant Domeij’s loved ones.
May Sergeant Domeij rest in peace. We can never thank him and his peers enough.
The nation can ill afford to lose such very rare men as this at any time, and much more so in the age of Obama.
R.I.P. troop; enjoy your R&R in heaven.
RIP, brother.
Rest in peace brother, friend, Hero, thank you for your service you gave the last measure to protect our freedom.
Now it is OUR turn to take up the cause by turning the Marxist out of the House, Senate and WH.
Just a Rose Will do.

he was a fugitive from the law of averages... RIP
With the down sizing 0 is doing there probably was little choice. 90,000 are slated to be released, not just brought home, 3,000 CPO’s who do not have their retirement invested are going to lose their jobs. While the 30-40 year career invested are left in place. This according to the Army and Navy times headlines in the past month.
