We kill more Americans in this country than the Afghans kill.

The flag is being flown at half staff for the temple murder victims by a decree of the POTUS.

Not for Aurora......Not for our soldiers....

"Let me clearly say that those two incidents clearly do not reflect the overall situation here in Afghanistan," chief ISAF spokesman Brigadier-General Gunter Katz told journalists on Saturday.

That is total BS. It is the overall situation.

@Rom1

I was with 1st Air Cav 2/7th Infantry 1968-1969 in III Corp. I had an uncle and a step-dad stationed near Chu Lai and also Da Nang in I Corp, both of whom were combat engineers, and yes, they did have to clear mines. I was later transferred and worked with G2 as a Mil. Int. Interrogator/Interpretor. We'd get reports in G2 of incidents of ARVNs killing our soldiers. Remember the "Phoenix Program"? I helped work it. We targeted some of the ARVNs. I personally didnt clear any mines because I was too busy bee-boppin around near the Cambodian border not far from Loc Ninh and Quan Loi and An Loc. Perhaps we missed each other's point.

Now, having said that, I can agree that there certainly are comparisons to both wars which we veterans know and realize. One comparison I think we can both agree on is that both are a mistake. It's okay to make a mistake. It's not okay to make the same mistake twice. That's just stupid. We need to un-ass the whole AO in South Asia and the Middle-East.

Here is how American idiots talk, "Let me clearly say that those two incidents clearly do not reflect the overall situation here in Afghanistan," chief ISAF spokesman Brigadier-General Gunter Katz told journalists on Saturday.

Need I say more?

What better way to get us out of their country. I am sure we would be doing the same as they in the same position.... In fact we would die for our freedom taking ten of them for everyone of us. Three for one aint bad but we can do better than that.. We send one jihad GI at a time to see how many we can get. A game of minds. I am sure that drones will be used in the future to detonate nuclear bombs above our heads. Now that will work even better.

Get out of Afghanistan and the entire middle east. We haven't made any improvements there to the lifestyle of the people. The insurgents are simply waiting until we walk away in 2014 like we did in Vietnam. You think two years is long to a people who have been occupied by one force or another since the time of Christ? They want our money We haven't found a way to fund this war but we are pouring money into the country. The military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us of wants to refurbish tanks that we aren't using and we have more in storage than we have in active duty. With the economy in the shape it is the last thing we need is to be spending money over there. If the liberals do gooders want to contribute to relief agencies let them do so with their money as charitable donations which are tax deductible. Don't waste American lives on a war that has no defined objective.

A recently found quote from a letter sent to Parliament by tGeneral Gunter Katz' great-great-great grandfather who served a similar role as spokesman for the Hessian soldiers who fought in America in 1776: "What??? the Americans are hiding behind trees and shooting at us? That's unfair!! They are targeting officers?? How dare they - don't they know that we all agree that isn't the way civilized people fight?? The isolated instances at Lexington and Bunker Hill do not reflect the overall situation here in the Colonies. Indeed, the vast majority support our efforts to protect them from these extremists."

It is not over till it is over. One day we will be in the same position Karma is a biatchHhhh. Murphy's law..Oh right we were there against the brits. Ohh my there must be a connection the Brits never change..

Another trillion $$ wasted, unless you're connected to the military industrial complex, that is.

I'm so tired of seeing Americans die for these savages.

You must change this brit ideology or it will never change. Equal rights for every individual is the only way. Once we respect every life it will not be worth the fight. LOL then over population will get us. We will get deranged jokers shooting up movie theaters. or churche and loaner neo nazi types. We can't win soooo our fate is sealed in time..

It is virtually impossible to defeat an enemy that is not afraid to die...my condolences to the families of the fallen. Despite how we feel personally, we should all be showing the utmost respect to the soldiers putting their lives on the line for us every day. They certainly have mine................

When Green on Blue Attacks Aren’t “Technically” Green on Blue Attacks

By: Jim White Monday July 23, 2012 3:49 pm

On April 30, AP’s Robert Burns revealed that the number of attacks on NATO soldiers by Afghan military and police had been systematically under-reported because only attacks resulting in fatalities were reported. An attack in Herat, Afghanistan over the weekend now raises the possibility that another category of Afghan attacks on personnel associated with the NATO coalition’s efforts is also under-reported. In Sunday’s attack, three contractors involved in training Afghan forces were killed, but the Reuters report on this attack mentions that since those killed were contractors and not military personnel, the attack was not “technically” a green on blue attack. Ironically, Burns’ exposure of the under-reporting on non-fatal attacks has resulted in at least some them now being reported, and there was one today.

Burns’ report opens with his discovery of the under-reporting:

The military is under-reporting the number of times that Afghan soldiers and police open fire on American and other foreign troops.

The U.S.-led coalition routinely reports each time an American or other foreign soldier is killed by an Afghan in uniform. But The Associated Press has learned it does not report insider attacks in which the Afghan wounds — or misses — his U.S. or allied target. It also doesn’t report the wounding of troops who were attacked alongside those who were killed.

When someone says technically, you just want to reach across the table and slap the taste out of their mouth.

They join the military so we will arm and train them, so to fight against us. Of course they will..Ohh I love America and want to kill my country men please train me. We are so dumb and nieve..Our leaders want us to believe we freed them..and they now love us..Hilary and Obama are prime examples of turn coats that want us to believe their ohh myyy crap..War is war not a candy store..

top american generals and top washington politicians( including former republican president and our current democrat president) made all this possible for afgans to kill american soldiers so easily by being ignorant AND LETTING AFGANS INTO AND ON OUR BASES,our american over paid pencil pushers, we let afgan civilians on our american made bases to work covertly for the taliban and kill our troops in our bases on there soil, this has been going on for years now and nothing has been done to prevent this stupidity .i would love to send in all u.s. generals behind desk at the pentagon and top politicians who ok such stupidity on foot patrol to all the taliban strongholds!,just like sending our troops in cheaply made humvees and on foot PATROLS into remote villages laced with ied's along the roads, like door to door preachers setting up our troops for the kill.stupid is as stupid does plain and simple,you will never make the taliban our freinds ,they laugh at our american stupidity and ingnorance, i guees washington will just keep sending afgans more weapons and free money and train the taliban to kill the outstanding brave young american troops they send there,to my SONS & ALL TROOPS overseas ... GOD PLEASE PROTECT THEM AND ALL OUR AMERICAN TROOPS ... LOVE ALL OF YOU DAD!

Exactly, why do our military leaders think think that the afghans would act differently if the roles were reversed? If any occupying force was in America they had better sleep with one eye open all the time. You train them during the day, they kill you at night.

@ voodkokk

Like in Vietnam, ARVN attacks against Americans was worse. They mostly went totally un-reported. So, nothing new here. Another thing that may or may not surprise anyone (another comparrison perhaps), is that every time we killed someone we had to report them as "Vietnamese enemy." If they were Russians, Cambodians, Chinese, or whatever, we were ordered to report them as Vietnamese. Ask some vets how many Iranians, Pakistani's, Chinese, etc etc we've killed lately. You may not find the answers, but, you'll get a big grin.

We go in and bomb the hell out of them thinking we won their hearts and souls for saving them from what we percieve to be their evil. They are broke and poor without a nation and we call ourselves their friends as we abandon them to a fate worse than before..We replace our guilt with denial so to make good for the damage caused. We blow everything up if only we could change their souls too. Murder has the opposit effect sooooo chew on it..Obama is going to save the world by blowing it up the only thing he will cause by doing this is bring the Grim Reaper to our door steps , it always ends this way . Obama and cronies are no better than the last..

This incident is totally unacceptable and enough to have the U.S. close down, totally withdraw from Afghanistan now!

my prayers go out too the families whom lost loved ones. just remember they might be gone,but are with you in spirit.

these MARINESwhom gave their lives for nothing,the blood is own your hands obama.

USMC RETIRED

The Command Sergeant Major's wife will be given a widow's pension of about 40% of what his retirement would have been. Besides her losing the love of her life she is a single widowed parent. Killed by psycho traitors twisted by the religion that confronts them mentally each day. "Let me clearly say that those two incidents clearly do not reflect the overall situation here in Afghanistan," chief ISAF spokesman Brigadier-General Gunter Katz told journalists on Saturday.

$3 billion dollars of damages estimated on Sept 11, 2001 and this country spends $3 trillion plus for revenge with failed policy and strategy of the Bush presidency employees.

We must remain a neutral country in order to institute real global change this takes time. We should not go out and force our way of life on them they must be willing themselves. We shut our borders and put a check in the mail and load and lock . Once they finish eachother off as in WW2 we mop up and give them their lives back . Change we can count on..A strong nation with moral values will be blessed by GOG . Don't let them drag us down with them..support free will let dieing dogs die where they want.

Well Bgen Katz, what is the overall situation? These attacks continue. How many of these attacks do you need to change the overall situation?

God Bless the Marines. Too many young lives sacrificed to date. We need to get out of there, taking way way too long. I'm sure if Mitt is elected first thing he'll do is get us into another war in Syria & everywhere else trouble is brewing.
