A U.S. service member in Afghanistan was killed in action on December 23, the Department of Defense reported. US Forces Afghanistan provided no details on how the person was killed or where it took place. However, the Taliban did.
According to the Taliban, the US soldier was killed in an attack on a US military convoy in the Char Dara district of Kunduz province. The attack reportedly resulted in injures among several other foreign troops.
2019 became the deadliest year for US forces since combat operations officially finished at the end of 2014.
Taking into the account the December 23 announcement and depending on how one qualifies a combat-related death, at least 20 US troops have been killed in action in Afghanistan in 2019.
The official number of US troops killed in combat in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion in October 2001 is over 2,400. The number of killed US and US-linked mercenaries remain unclear because the Department of Defense does not report such casualties.
Rest in hell.
Rest in peace hero, from one fighter to another, my condolences to his family.
you’re as stupid as a donkey – hero! you gotta suffer from severe brain-rot. hero, american soldiers in afghanistan are nothing but large scale murdering tools for the deep state/mic, and come to think of it, about on par with the squatter’s murdering and thieving population/iaf and so on.
Hero??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
another victim to the deep state’s wars, a victim most likely from a fly over state where schooling is a more or less obsolete function in society and jobs are as rare as a generous hymie and the choice stands between becoming a marine with a reasonable chance of being body-bagged back home or cook meth with a better chance than 90% to spend 15 to 25 in the penitentiary.
what to like about the more than ever evil unhinged states of A and its companion in evility, israel – nothing, nada, zilch und zu weiter.
Mullah backed terrorists killing more US forces for attempting to stop their insurgency. Airstrikes are needed as retaliation.
Son of Azriel runs home from school one day and asks his father, “Daddy, am I more Jewish or more black?” The dad replies, “Why do you want to know, son?” “Because a kid at school is selling a bike for $50 and I want to know if I should talk him down to $40 or just steal it!”
They have been trying for 18 years . The strongest military in the world can’t stop a group of old men running around in sandals and rags with basic weapons .
idiot – it’s been tried for about 18 years and where has it landed the unhinged states of A, nowhere and a national debt at about 22 to 23000 billion dollars. it’s truly laughable and when the squatters are turned to mush it’s time to celebrate.
He also had feelings. He was there to give bubble gum to Afghan children to win hearts, and did his best.
That heroin war is costing the USA dearly. Mind you, the British had an opium war in China too, didn’t they? And they’re still having one in Afghanistan!
