39 young men were killed from Coalition troops and 32 from USA in the month of December 2010 alone. So far a total of 2279 young men have been killed in Afghanistan that sounds like a lot of body bags - who knows how many young Afghanistan men have also been killed. Could not find figures for them.

One cute Australian soldier did manage to get away... but he sustained injuries to his lower parts... hmmm


The Defence Department has named a Darwin based soldier serving in Afghanistan who was wounded in combat against Taliban fighters last month.

The department today released combat imagery of the two-hour battle on December 28.

Private Matthew Pepi from the 7th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment suffered injuries to his lower body.

He has since returned to Australia for ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Australian serving in British Army killed in Afghanistan; Updated: January 20, 2011



An Australian man killed in Afghanistan while fighting with British defence forces has been named as Rifleman Stuart Nash.

He was killed serving in the British Army in Afghanistan on the same day Prime Minister Kevin Rudd visited Diggers stationed in the country.

The British-Australian dual national was killed by enemy fire in an area north-west of Lashkar Gah in Southern Helmand.

British Defence spokeswoman Commander Paula Rowe said the soldier was a member of the First Battalion The Rifles.

Commander Rowe said the soldier was taking part in an operation against enemy forces in the district of Nad-e-Ali.

He was evacuated by helicopter to a hospital at a nearby military base but subsequently died of his wounds.

``The death of this soldier has left everyone in Task Force Helmand deeply saddened,'' Commander Rowe said.



``Whilst words cannot ease their devastating loss, our heartfelt condolences go to his family, friends and colleagues at this time.''

The Australian Defence Department said the soldier was not a member of the Australian Defence Force.

``The ADF extends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of this soldier at this difficult time,'' a Defence statement said.

There are 16 ADF member seconded to British forces in Helmand.

Seven members of the ADF have been killed in Afghanistan.

There are 16 Australian soldiers serving with British forces in Afghanistan.

In 2005, a Victorian man who was a member of the British Air Force died when the plane he was flying in was shot down in Iraq.

Flt-Lt Paul Pardoel, 35, a father of three, was the navigator of a British C-130 transport plane, which was hit by a missile north of Baghdad.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown visited Afghanistan at the weekend.

He later revealed he had sent an addition 3000 troops to the country, bolstering British forces in Helmand province to 8,300.

Britain has lost 133 soldiers in Afghanistan since 2001.

Incoming US president Barack Obama has said defeating the Taliban in Afghanistan will be one of his administration's top priorities.

Mr Obama is expected to seek commitments from America's allies to send more troops to Afghanistan after he is sworn in as president next month

What makes me fucking sick lately here in the US is the fact that the news hardly ever mentions the wars or , of course casulties - it's all the election crap shit and which rich, dishonest republican fuck will get elected next. Has anyone noticed - that Romney guy is EXACTLY the one the 'prophecies' tell about - rich, handsome, and will lead the world to it's demise!!! All the past presidents' wealth combined doesn't come close to the billions that bastard has stolen from people and corporations he has shut down.
