Good Morning
I always love hearing about Israeli soldiers so accurate when they return fire... perhaps they one of the most deadly soldiers when it comes to counter-attack.
Thanks for the Info.. God Bless.
Thanks SV for all you do to keep us informed.
:-)
Good Morning to you, too!
Lots and lots of dead bad guys. Gotta luv it! Two thumbs up for those on the front lines, keeping the rest of us safe.
Good Morning
In a separate battle Wednesday, near the border between Uruzgan and Kandahar, a B-52 bomber and A-10 aircraft bombarded an unknown number of militants after they were seen carrying weapons.
U.S. says 16 militants killed in Afghan fighting
http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=worldNews&storyID=2005-08-25T135313Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-213890-1.xml
KABUL (Reuters) - U.S. and Afghan forces backed by a giant B-52 bomber, A-10 attack aircraft and helicopters killed an estimated 16 militants in southern Afghanistan in the past two days, the U.S. military said on Thursday.
The militants were killed on Tuesday and Wednesday during an operation codenamed Vigilant Sentinel aimed at ensuring security for Sept. 18 parliamentary and provincial council elections.
The U.S. military said six militants were were killed on Tuesday after Afghan and U.S.forces saw them planting improvised explosive devices in Shinkay district of Zabul province.
An Afghan and U.S. patrol also pinned down another group of militants southeast of the town of Tarin Kot and called in a B-52 bomber, A-10 attack aircraft and attack helicopters, it said, adding that casualties there were being assessed.
In other incidents on Wednesday, five militants were killed by aircraft and ground fire northeast of Tarin Kot five more in Kandahar province, the statement said, adding that there were no U.S. casualties or damage in any of the incidents.
About 30,000 U.S.-led and NATO troops are in Afghanistan to protect the elections, the last phase of a plan for political development agreed by Afghan factions and the international community after the Taliban were overthrown in 2001.
About 1,000 people, most of them Taliban guerrillas, have been killed in clashes, ambushes and blasts this year, most of them militants.
The U.S. military said this week it had killed 105 militants in a series of clashes over recent weeks in Zabul and the eastern province of Kunar.
U.S. forces have suffered 47 deaths in combat in Afghanistan this year, their worst casualty rate in the country since arriving in late 2001 to force the Taliban from power.
Despite the violence, Afghan government and U.S. officials say the vote will not be disrupted.
That is what happens after they get pounded by a B-52. It's kind of hard to count what is left.
The pot hole story was very interesting...I guess because we don't think about certain jobs being done and without credit by soldiers in order to help fellow soldiers.
Kudos for this group of soldiers!
Could you elaborate?
