And once again, UK press leads the way.

I can think of another reason the battle turned especially deadly.

[Billthedrill]

And once again we hear about this in the British newspapers and nothing but silence from our own "protectors of democracy". Battle of Kamdesh, October 2009. 53 U.S. troops, no air, no reserves, attacked by 350 Taliban. Eight dead, two MOHs awarded. Because everybody else was out searching for a deserter.

Oh, the money line? It's here:

On that same day, President Barack Obama was announced as the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

Pity about the Getty images in it - I'd encourage anyone interested in the faces of the eight heroes killed to click on the link.

We have troops killed looking for him, troops killed because support was diverted to look for him, and troops killed because he gave aid to the Taliban. And I haven’t even considered the number of serious injuries.

The body count continues.

Obama Inc has the American press way to afraid to go here.

“The Battle of Kamdesh, one of the most deadly military engagements during the U.S. war in Afghanistan, turned especially bloody – leaving eight Americans dead and 22 wounded – because troops and aircraft normally tasked to support U.S. fighting men and woman were diverted to search for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.”

So then along with the six killed during the rescue attempt reported in several other threads we’ve read we now can add 8 more for a total of 14 American Soldiers killed due to Bergdahl’s treasonous escapade, along with 22 more wounded.

Wondering what the final tally will be after those five combatants Obama released complete their task?

‘It’s simple,’ he said: ‘We lost eight good soldiers because someone wanted to go look for a single rotten one.’

My first Commander reminded me of the story of THE MISSING NAIL

For want of a nail, the horseshoe was lost.
For want of the horseshoe, the horse was lost.
For want of the horse, the Soldier was lost.
For want of the Soldier, the squad was lost.
For want of the squad, the platoon was lost.
For want of the platoon, the company was lost.
For want of the company, the battalion was lost.
For want of the battalion, the brigade was lost.
For want of the brigade, the division was lost.
For want of the division, the corps was lost.
For want of the corps, the army was lost.
For want of the army, the nation was lost.
All for the want of a nail.

I’ve never forgotten that.

This is becoming one of the most disgusting sleazy episodes of
American history and that is all on the Taliban in Chief.
