afghan Taliban are great
Confirmed that it was shot down by a RPG.....like how the F*** is that possible? Sad day indeed.
RIP. So many grieving families in this conflict from all sides.
But, as VCheng says, there is a war going on there and soldiers and Talibans are legit target. So long as both sides don't kill civilians intentionally we will sadly have to bear such news.
I think any American death in Afghanistan is really bad news for Pakistan though. Americans are going to blame Pakistan for this. May be Iranians are getting more involved now? If they really are it is terrible news for American forces because Iranians, unlike Pakistan, can actively support anti-American forces. What made the Soviets to finally lose in Afghanistan was the Stinger missiles which ended the Soviet air superiority. Same can happen to American forces.
Until now we are hearing only about the RPG being used not any manpad . us alway blame Pakistan for not doing enough is merely away to console their frustration. if the Iranian really start suppling some modern anti tank weapons and manpad to taliban the of us occupation force is going to face their Vietnam tragedy again .
How it could it a sad day ? it is the great day of afghan resistance against foreign aggression .

No one is blaming Pakistan. That's ridiculous.
My sincere wish for you is that you will one day live under Taliban-style leadership. That is, unless you are one yourself in thought and deed. Whip any women lately? Drop off any poison gas at a girls' school?

They're going to go back to living under Taliban leadership after you guys leave, so what have you really accomplished besides adding to the misery?
There will be a bloody and brutal civil war in the country the way it was before, with a difference this time, the neighbors will also be affected by this - we wont be on our own.
