In the Salt Lake Tribune on September 17, 2012 there was an article written by Heidi Vogt and Mirwais Khan with the title, "Afghan insider attack kills four U.S. troops". Four U.S. soldiers were murdered, yes I said murdered, when they came to the aid of the Afghan soldiers. This is not the first time that our military has been attacked by those they were trying to protect. The security has taken a nose dive as NATO prepares to remove military from Afghanistan and while everyone is working together to try to tighten the security it leaves our soldiers vulnerable to attacks like this one! Something tells me things are going to get worse before they get better, if better ever happens at all!

I agree with you, it is hard to see soldiers vulernable to attacks, especially when you know people in the military and then read these types of stories. It really makes you worry about if things ever will get better.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to see some justice arise from this situation and it will probably come about. However, I have a sneaking suspicion whatever 'justice' unfolds will not see the public light. I wonder what the 'conversation' will be.
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely horrible that they would be killed when they were trying to protect them and offer aid. I agree that it seems like things are going to get worse before they get better. The transition is definitely going to be difficult while they try to pull troops out.
