Nearly all of those who were killed were from the USAF "Office of Special Investigations". I wonder if they were getting close to uncovering something that would have a large impact footprint on someone's rumpus? In that case, were they targeted? Or, were they merely available for the suicide bomber's attempt at martyrdom?

All I know is that when I flipped through the tv-channels this morning, MSNBC was going on and on about how one of the six was a “married” lesbo, and a loud agitator for homo rights and homo-marriage and such crap.

So where is the commander-in-chief? Has he even said anything yet? Offered condolences to the loved ones?

As usual Obama is “On the Tee” and Hillary is searching through a video library for some incriminating footage.

I am sure Obama and the MSM will vocalize the need to give these Americans a proper, Christian burial. /s

God Bless them all, and their families. I know what it’s like to get a son back in a box with instructions not to open.

Here’s a good starting point: first, did the patrol procedures employed by the USAF differ in any way from those used by the Army, Marine Corps or other services. The day after the suicide bombing, a Marine Corps unit was back on patrol in the same area. Early reports indicate the bomber (on a motorcycle) was able to get “inside” the patrol before he detonated his explosives. Perimeter security?

Secondly, with four AFOSI agents in the patrol, they were clearly out to gather information or possibly arrest someone. Whatever the mission, were there any indications of increased surveillance of patrols in the days before the attack. An operation like this one isn’t happenstance; the Taliban knew the right place and time to target the patrol, with devastating results. What was missed (in the way of intel) that might have prevented the attack?

USAF personnel have been patrolling outside the wire for years, so this type of mission is hardly new. But it would also be helpful to know how long this ground had been in country and how many times they had patrolled the area before.

Wasted. All for the fiction that Afghanistan will become a nation state in any normal sense, or that the people there will ever be anything more that tribal animals.
We blew it up. Our best course is to leave it destroyed and have a ban on all travel from there.
What are we doing to ensure that we won’t be reading this same story 15 years from now?

The six soldiers, one woman and five men, died when a suicide bomber drove his explosives-laden motorcycle into a joint NATO-Afghan patrol near Bagram.


US Army LT Lorance sentenced to 20 years. He gave the order to shoot at a motorcycle driven by terrorists did not stop when ordered as it was heading toward his men
