US service member killed in apparent insider attack in Afghanistan

One US service member was killed and another was wounded in what the military described as "an apparent insider attack" in eastern Afghanistan on Monday.

Additional details around Monday's deadly attack were not immediately released. In early July, Army Cpl. Joseph Maciel of South Gate, California, was killed in southern Afghanistan in an apparent insider attack. Two additional US service members were injured in that attack.

Prior to that, the last insider attack occurred in August 2017, in which a Romanian NATO soldier was injured.

You never know when a Muslim is going to get religion and realize he should be killing Infidels, and not cooperating with them, especially against other Muslims. - Tom

Drag his entire platoon into the street and machine gun them to death. Then burn their homes down with their families inside. After that reduce the rat hole villages they crawled out of to rubble without warning.

Why are we still there? A major campaign promise by President Trump was to stop the idiotic war mongering. He said he wouldn’t announce a date ahead of time but he would leave. He got stalled “awhile” by the War Machine. Has he been co-opted?

The fact is the wizards of smart in Defense and State and the Brits and others don't know what the F to do about Afghanistan. Leave and the Taliban will be back in control within a short while. Then what? It is a true genuine mess. At least the Trump people seem to have revised BHO’s idiotic ROEs.

If the Afghans want to live in the 7th century, then that’s their choice.

If they don’t want to be ruled by the Taliban, then let them fight en masse to prevent it.

But we cannot do the fighting for them.

Could this be the reason President Trump returned to the WH this AM?

Even with the first invasion I was saying it would make more sense keeping the crazies in Afghanistan than trying to change them. World History is cluttered with civilizations which failed because they tried to change the world and the world changed them.

I’m only surprised that it took 15 minutes for someone to post this squeal.

We seem to get more feel good, sound good statements these days that won't stand up to questioning.

What if a person believes he should kill someone for a grievance?.
Or more to your point, what if a Muslim believes he should kill us Kafirs because Allah and Muhammad want it done? - Tom

We’ll stop wasting American lives in Afghanistan right after we build that border wall.

We’re there because the Deep State/NeoCons want us there & they are largely in control of Trump’s foreign policy. This poses the greatest threat to him, because if he gets us in more NeoCon wars, he is gone.

That’s why you need to know their families, and where they live.

That $160 billion Obama-mess gave Iran is messing up the Middle East with terrorism everywhere...
