KABUL, Afghanistan – Anne Smedinghoff had a quiet ambition and displayed a love of global affairs from an early age, joining the U.S. Foreign Service straight out of college and volunteering for missions in perilous locations worldwide.
So when the 25-year-old suburban Chicago woman was killed Saturday in southern Afghanistan — the first American diplomat to die on the job since last year's attack in Benghazi, Libya — her family took solace in the fact that she died doing something she loved.

25 year old Soldiers, sailors, and marines have been dying over there for the last 12 years. The press seemed to lose interest in that.....

Yup. We should have been out of there about 5 years ago if not earlier.
What difference does it make
Cue Hillary, “What difference does it make?”
To not be taken to be actually uncaring, always use the /hillary tag after that one... ;)
American diplomat killed in Afghanistan identified; Friends mourn Anne Smedinghoff on Twitter
So why, at this point in the game, are we sending our best out on high-risk missions when we’ve already ceded the game to the Taliban?
Too young and inexperienced to be stationed in that hell hole.
Yeah let’s stay there another 50 or 60 years.
Too female to be stationed in that hell hole; don’t these people know how Muslims think of women?
If this doesn’t remind them, what would?
No American females, military or civilian, should be posted in any of those Islamic s***holes.
Our embassy staffs should be all male, period. Female staff, wives & children of U.S. foreign service personnel should be evacuated from muzzie countries, immediately.
Islam = barbarism
Questions?
“Our embassy staffs should be all male, period. Female staff, wives & children of U.S. foreign service personnel should be evacuated from muzzie countries, immediately.”
Given the fact that Islam is irreconcilable with any form of democracy, I really don’t know why we have embassies in some of these places to begin with. They cannot be protected in an area where the foreign government sympathizes with those who would kill them, and our government that sends them there won’t condemn the mindset that drives them to do so.
condolences to the family on their loss.
She was NOT a diplomat.
She was a DoS employee.
Meanwhile obama is partying like no tomorrow.
Prayers up for those still defending and being responsible!
