http://www.miamiherald.com/news/world/AP/story/1227617.html

“KABUL, Afghanistan — Navy medical corpsman James Layton, of Riverbank, Calif., had been ministering first aid to wounded Marine Lt. Michael Johnson, of Virginia Beach, Va., when both were killed Tuesday under a volley of insurgent bullets in Afghanistan’s eastern Kunar province.

“If we leave this house, the people in the house in front of us will shoot us,” were the last words that Marine Staff Sgt. Aaron Kenefick, of Roswell, Ga., was heard calling into his radio before it went silent. Marine Gunnery Sgt. Edwin W. Johnson, Jr., of Columbus, Ga., died alongside them.

Layton was 22; Michael Johnson, 25; Edwin Johnson, 31; and Kenefick, 30...”

Maddening. The areas around our people should be turned to sand with massive amounts of explosives.
I could care less about civilian casualties there. I care about our people.
Just maddening.
