3 German Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan

[Good2Golf]

Thoughts and prayers to the families and fellow soldiers of those killed.  RIP soldiers...



Now, back to TTPs and IAs...if you don't follow sound TTPs and IAs, this is what happens.  It's the same for these three soldiers as it was for the GER LTC back in January '06....follow your TTPs/IAs...or depart from them at your own peril.

They may not read but they do know to keep away.

G2G -- excellent point.

I usually don't post this on open board (something about cats and dogs living together)  
The German in Nov 05 (I think my date is right  )
 

The less disturbing pics I have from that incident.   A second VBIED went off 200m from it 20 min later...




The moment you lose focus for a second - can be the last second of your life.

I was going to go on a rant about shopping -- but I recall doing a CP trip for one of G2G's "borders" to a market in Bagram -- so less I show my own ass (once again)  I will refrain from said shopping rant.

We had our terps buy things we wanted.  They went around unescorted and such but not to far from the camp.

Yup, I-6, you were right about the date...I thought it was a bit later than Nov...you must be developing a sense of good (better?) taste in your posts...I remember your entire "portfolio"  :-X

...the femur's connected to tha....knee bone....the knee bone's connected to the....DOH! 

Must stop theatre dark humour!  Must think of something cheerful and positive, like "TGITAT" (Thank God it's Team America Thursday!)....

Worst time on tour was driving in anything...GWagon or LAV I hated it....course I hated driving the GWagon more. I was never more tense then that, not even under contact.

Kirkhill,

I am quickly becoming a fan.  You have provided yet another brilliant analysis (which simply means that I agree with you).  While most observers want to look at the situation in SW Asia and the Middle East as a high stakes game of poker it is, in reality, an unsupervised round of 52 pick-up.  Poker has rules, strategies and a definable winner.  The other is unorganized, sophomoric and ambiguous.  This is why, in my opinion, western political solutions based on sound foreign relation principles and rationally thought out compromises do not necessarily succeed.  The proponents are playing the wrong game.  Think tribalism and not nationalism.  At the end of the round it's not the best hand who wins but the one with the most cards who 'believes' they won.

PS:  Kirkhill, did you at one time work for one of our Cousin's?

Why?  Who wants to know?  ;D

No such luck.  Though I am available for a consideration.
