time to cut bait... Afghanistan.
Edited on Sun Mar-29-09 01:55 PM by cwcwmack
28 dead US soldiers this month so far... in Afghanistan.

One from my home town and my own high school that I attended like a million years ago...



He was set to come home Wednesday on leave, but Frankie Toner — a former homecoming king at Westlake High School serving as a Navy lieutenant in Afghanistan — never made it.

An Afghan insurgent dressed as a soldier shot and killed Toner, 26, on Friday at a base in northern Afghanistan, the U.S. Department of Defense reported Saturday.


Mark my words... this damned dusty hellhole has WORSE prospects than Iraq... and by 2012 may have consumed more lives than Iraq.

What's it worth? If you need to make life miserable for the taliban, just fight it from 40,000 feet... get the guys and girls OFF the ground!

BTW, teh Russians lost 15,000 men in the 80's to similar bad characters.

I pray for the day that man's inhumanity to man never causes us to lose a loved one.
