IEDs and other explosives along roads and trails used by our troops are taking too many lives. I know our military is taking measures to counter this, but it’s hard to learn of losses among our brave, young troops.
I wonder if more overhead drones and armed drones scanning the routes could be used to spot bad guys planting the devices and killing them in the act? I know our counter measures shouldn’t be printed in the NY Times so I guess we won’t know what’s being used to lessen losses.
The Taliban and Al Quaeda are f’ing cowards. They come out at night like vermin, set IEDs and scurry back into their holes. They can’t fight mano a mano with a US, British or Canadian solider so they fall back on their cowardly but deadly ways. RIP brave ones. Condolences to your families.
