6 more Americans die needlessly
Their deaths the result of our continuing unnecessary and useless military presence in the capitol of corruption, Shitholeistan.
Six American soldiers died Tuesday when their helicopter crashed in a remote area of southern Afghanistan, in the single largest loss of life for foreign troops in nearly six months.Actually the responsibility for these needless deaths belongs with those fatuous asses in Washington who continue to press for a US presence there for reasons they can never reveal to the public.
There is believed to be at least one survivor, according to coalition officials. Shortly after the episode, Afghan forces were sent to the crash area, local officials said.
Afghan officials said the crash occurred around 4 p.m. in the Shajoe District of Zabul Province, a mountainous area roughly 50 miles from the capital. The coalition said there were no indications of militant activity in the area at the time of the crash, though the Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for it, as the group often does...
Throughout the war, bad weather or technical problems have been the most frequent causes of helicopter crashes, despite Taliban claims. In March of this year, five American soldiers were killed when their helicopter crashed in Kandahar. A month later, another crash claimed the lives of two more American soldiers, this time in Nangarhar. Neither incident was found to have been caused by the Taliban.
But the Taliban have shot down helicopters before.

I read that with rage this morning, thinking again how nice it would be if those sending us to war had to lead from the fucking FRONT, instead of sitting safely ensconced in Washington D.C.
