What could make this worse? Yeah, yet another case of so-called "friendly fire" by our Afghan "allies".
Kinda hard to take the fight to the enemy when you are constantly having to check-six and make sure you are not shot in the back by your terrorist supporting "allies".

Two U.S. Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan as Pompeo Arrives to Talk PeaceSIMON KENT, 26 Jun 2019 Two U.S. service members were killed during a military operation in eastern Afghanistan early on Wednesday morning, NATO said, the latest international casualties as the U.S. and the Taliban prepare for talks. Their loss came just hours after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made an unannounced visit to Kabul and outlined his hopes for a peace deal with the Taliban “before September 1.” “In accordance with U.S. Department of Defense policy, the names of the service members are being withheld until 24 hours after notification of next of kin is complete,” NATO’s Resolute Support mission said. The Taliban claimed in a statement they killed two American soldiers in an ambush in Sayed Abad district of southern Wardak province on Wednesday. There was no immediate confirmation or denial from NATO whether it was the same attack. www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2019/06/26/two-u-s-soldiers-killed-in-afghanistan-as-pompeo-arrives-to-talk-peace/

18-Year Old US Soldiers Now Entering Afghanistan 18 Years After War Beganby Tyler Durden, Wed, 10/09/2019 - 23:25 This week America's longest war in Afghanistan turned eighteen, and so did its youngest solder. To mark the occasion, ABC News profiled the US occupation's newest American member: "Pvt. Hunter Nines is about to join a war nearly as old as he is," the report said. Reflecting on his first impending deployment with the Army Pvt. Nines said, "I didn't have a lot of thoughts on Afghanistan in particular." He was but 7 months when the war began with the arrival of US troops on Oct. 7, 2001 following the 9/11 attacks. "I honestly just had the notion of I wanted to serve, and wherever that is, that's where I'll go." www.zerohedge.com/political/18-year-old-us-soldiers-now-entering-afghanistan-18-years-after-war-began
