Just keeping the memory of the men in the field alive for a day:
"Attacks in Afghanistan Kill 3 Policemen and a Soldier"
KABUL, Afghanistan, Nov. 11 (AP) — Attacks against United States and coalition forces and the Afghan police continued unabated throughout the country, killing three policemen and a soldier in separate explosions and raids, officials said Sunday.
The soldier died after a battle on Saturday about 40 miles northeast of Kabul, the capital, the coalition said Sunday. It did not disclose the soldier’s nationality.
In Helmand Province, Afghanistan’s center for opium poppy production, a suicide bomber on foot detonated his explosives near a NATO convoy, killing three bystanders, said the Helmand police chief, Muhammad Hussain Andiwal.
Elsewhere in the country, the Afghan police came under attack by a land-mine blast, an ambush and an assault on a checkpoint. Three policemen died, one was missing and three were wounded in the scattered attacks.
This sounds like NATO and the U.S. are on the defensive.
Better stay and keep fighting vets!
Insurgent attacks have risen sharply over the last two years, and analysts say the counterinsurgency battle that American and NATO forces now face will take a decade or more to win."
Hard to believe that after six years (and the thing backsliding from the start) that we will be there for DECADES!!!
There's gonna be a lot more fallen veterans to recall before this war is out.
Eat up, Amurkns!!! Plenty of war dead flesh to feast on!
