RIP.
Funny how ALL the anti-war demonstrations have gone away and the MSM no longer has the “daily death count”
When G. W. was in charge, I distinctly remember the lame-stream media giving daily, weekly, monthly and yearly reports on U.S. Casualties in Afghanistan. Gee, I wonder why they have stopped giving those reports. I would think that casualties, regardless of who is in charge, would be their prime objective. Guess not, when it is a “D” named Barack Hussein Obama — the rules of the media have changed.
I don’t understand how IEDs still do so much harm. If I were President, this would be priority 1 to come up with some technology to stop this menace to our troops.
The press never cared about the dead Americans. They still could care less.
They care about defeating Republicans,
thats all they care about, They are not REAL AMERICANS
They will beat you over the head with your dead sons and daughters if it means getting a democrat elected to a seat where you live. They are disgusted with the military, and the Amerucan way of life.
RIP, Warriors. Prayers of comfort for their families, friends and comrades at arms. Our hearts are breaking for you all.
Statement by the father of Lance Cpl. Hunter “H.D.” Hogan (KIA 06/23/12 re: ROE)
(Excerpted)
We as family and friends of Lance Cpl. Hogan and other service members, want to know why the media in our country has coddled instead of covered this Teflon coated administration!
We listened every night on the news for 8 years with the previous administration the casualty reports. With the present administration nothing is reported!
With the news of our recent loss of H.D. and others in his battalion, many people have made statements like “I didn’t think anything was going on there anymore.” “I thought the Marines were leaving there.” Etc. etc.
Here’s the statistics in Afghanistan for the 8 years of George Bush. The total killed in action under him is 660. Barack Obama in 3 years and 5 months the total killed in action is a total of 1,398.
Wounded under George Bush is 2,637 in 8 years. Wounded under Obama up to January 31st of this year is 11,529.
Why isn’t the media covering this instead of covering the protestors of these brave service men and women’s funerals?
they were sacrificed to the political needs of the obama reelection campaign. the troops are only there so he can play the “tough on terrorism” myth. he has no intention of staying, and, indeed, has no plan for winning. they will be coming out immediately after the election when it is politically expedient to do so.
thus, they are being sacrificed.
Bring. Them. Home. NOW!
There is no earthly reason for our troops to still be over
there being sacrificed for the zero’s benefit.
Those people are beyond hope and nothing we can do will change
that. We tried. I’m proud of the troops, but tired of seeing
reports of deaths that are so uncalled for!
The man pointing a rifle at her from a few feet away lets loose another round, but still there is no reaction.
He fires a third shot, and finally the woman slumps backwards.
But the man fires another shot.
And another. And another.
Nine shots in all.
Around him, dozens of men on a hillside cheer: "God is great!"
Officials in Afghanistan, believe the woman was executed because two Taliban commanders had a dispute over her, according to the governor of the province where the killing took place.
Both apparently had some kind of relationship with the woman, said Parwan province governor Abdul Basir Salangi.
"In order to save face," they accused her of adultery, Salangi said.
Then they "faked a court to decide about the fate of this woman and in one hour, they executed the woman," he added. The public execution is the latest and among the most shocking examples of violence against women in Afghanistan, but it is far from an isolated case...
And this is what we are sacrificing so many of our brave, young, Warriors for?
And these eeeevil, barbaric, Monsters (the Tally-Ban) are the same bunch of practitioners of the "Religion of Pieces," our Islamic appeasing/defending/supporting Dear Leader is "Negotiating with" while he ties the hands of our Military with his inane and insane Rules of Engagement in order to advance his "Hearts and Minds" agenda?
BRING THE ALL HOME AND BRING THEM HOME NOW!!!
Obama’s probably doing a jig.
My future S-I-L just returned from Afganistan last week. Prayers for God’s mercy and protection were answered. Now my daughter doesn’t have heart palpitations when the phone rings.
Terrible! What are those brave men still doing over there!
At the same time Hillary Clinton, speaking for Obama,declares Afghanistan a major non-nato ally. As Afghanistanians kill our troops, they are the allies of Hillary and Obama!
How many more will die before we finally leave that hellhole??
RIP
Most Americans don’t even realize that Americans are still being killed and maimed over there. Now that my son is over there many of my friends and neighbors have admitted to paying closer attention to Afghanistan because they know someone over there and they are shocked at the constant number of deaths.
As a parent of a soldier, my heart grieves for each family, mother, father, brother, sister, cousin, etc. of each soldier who’s life is forever changed or ended this day. I come home everyday hoping against hope that there will be no Black SUV’s in my driveway with uniformed Army officials waiting to greet me, but I know that every week, some family is having to suffer through that very thing.

,,,,, it’s still safer in Afganistan than 0bama’s hometown .
God bless our troops ,,,,,, Amen .
My heart goes out to their families, brothers-in-arms, and friends in great sorrow and more tears.
Also to the family who lost a member in South Afghanistan this weekend. There are those of us who pray and watch and grieve with you. God forbid our anger is released at an inopportune time.
You BETCHA Big Media is keeping this report as hush-hush as possible, don’t want to make Hussein’s election propaganda job on America any more difficult by reporting the details of THESE 6 Americans killed.
Hence, SUDDENLY we have an indictment to protect Uncle Tom Holder, and NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO CARE about the 6 American soldiers Hussein got killed.
