Prayers Heavenward for this brave soldier and his family.
May he find comfort and rest in the Kingdom of Heaven
To: Coop
Amen

Near the Pakistan border. So who killed him?
To: swarthyguy
It doesn't say, but I would guess that some radical Islamic scumbags are the prime suspects
To: Cronos
Afghanistan is once again a hot-spot due to the resurgence of the Taliban.
Our foreign policy wizards need to free our military up, so that they can pursue the Taliban into western Pakistan
To: Cronos
The Taliban scumbags need to be relentlessly hunted down and exterminated

Not once again. Spec Ops are very busy we're not hearing about much of this. I pray they're knocking of the ragheads by the handful.

Whew, the cynic in me was going to blame it on Paki troops. Sometimes there isn't a difference.
To: Bobby777
Amen
To: zarf
I hope this brave soldier killed at least 10 Taliban scumbags before he went down
To: swarthyguy
The Paki troops are probably nearly all Taliban Islamofascist sympathizers

My brother has been in Afghanistan for the past few weeks (actually was medevac'd out to Germany today), and in a recent e-mail said the place was crawling with Tali's. He just got back from a 10 day mission off base, his first of the sort, and couldn't share too much through e-mail, so I'm awaiting his snail mail with anticipation, but the gist is that there are still quite a few scumbags running around the country, and our guys are still in danger.
