And in today's news from Shitholeistan
From the WaPo:
Two members of the U.S.-led military coalition were killed Tuesday by a man wearing an Afghan police uniform in southern Afghanistan, an official said. The killings are the latest in a series of insider attacks that have sown distrust between coalition and Afghan forces.Waste, nothing more than waste of men and money and honor.
An Afghan official said the “green-on-blue” attack happened during a joint patrol in Girishk in southern Helmand province. The killer managed to escape, said the official, who spoke by phone on condition that he remain anonymous.
He said the attacker was a member of the Taliban-led insurgents who have been behind similar attacks in recent years. The killings bring to at least 53 the number of deaths among NATO and U.S. forces in similar attacks this year, the bloodiest period since the phenomenon began in 2007.
In a statement, NATO said the victims were members of the coalition but did not identify them. Most of the foreign troops in Helmand are British and Americans.
