8 More U.S. Troops Killed In Afghanistan
8 More U.S. Troops Killed In Afghanistan

An explosion killed 8 More U.S. troops in Afghanistan on Thursday, 5/26. Earlier on Thursday, a helicopter crash killed a NATO soldier. From these events, 9 families will be devastated, their lives never again to be the same as they bury a son or daughter, a father or a mother, a brother or a sister.

And for what? What can possibly be accomplished by continuing this war? If we want to honor these soldiers and the others who preceded them in death, let us do it by ending the war and bringing all of the surviving soldiers home safely to their families.

Thank you for adding that link to the thread, putting the names and ages of the young men, to the numbers.
