The Afghanistan and Pakistan Thread

I'm rather curious to see the ODA's number. 7th provided one of the teams to secure the E-11 crash site.

In the spirit of staying ahead of the game and educating the newer members, that is not an invite to post speculation around the information @AWP is curious about.

Please wait until information is officially released by DOD before posting about specific soldiers or anything that may identify them.

Discontinue all “partnered” operations- pull back to BAF, KAF, maybe Shank. Maintain a foot print to perform unilateral raids and reconnaissance. Discontinue nation building. Drop the bullshit- we are not a peacekeeping, nation building force. We are an occupying force who have forcibly taken real estate and will remain for the foreseeable future due to the strategic value of having bases in country. Call it a day and let the surrounding country go back to shit.

That strategy worked pretty well for the Soviets.
 
Additional reporting indicates that there is a possibility that it wasn't green-on-blue, but perhaps a terrorist who put on a uniform to aid in the attack.

Murder. But he kinda wiggled his way out with a minor sentence. I had forgotten about this until X SF Med mentioned it. I vaguely remember hearing he'd gotten into some trouble but at that time I had other priorities and didn't pay much attention.

Soldiering & fame just don't seem to mix. Soldiering is about dedication to the team, selflessness...fame is all about the individual. It doesn't always end well. (See Audie Murphy, Ira Hayes etc)

Is there a quotable source. Just to satisfy my own curiosity.

Absolutely agree on the oil and water qualities of the subject Of your post.
Seems to work for very few of the shitheads who try. With the exception of a lot of NSW dudes... not all.

Wiki has a longer version. Was dating some chick and the chick had a crazy ex. Then he put one between the dude's eyeballs, claimed he saw the guy trying to pull a gun and then planted evidence. Then somehow got a 30 sentence.
 
Thanks @ThunderHorse. I learn one or more new things here everyday.
I remember sitting in Durty Nelly’s. Listening to the piano player doing Sadler’s ballad. When guys from the “goat lab” would come in from Bullis or the old academy of health sciences.
