Coalition Deaths in Afghanistan since 2001 (1 Viewer)

[The General]

I was reading in the paper the other day the number of Coalition soldiers killed in Afghanistan since troops arrived there in 2001. It's very disheartening. It has also reminded me just how many nations large and small are involved.

I had no idea that there were that many nations that had suffered losses in Afghanistan. Knew about the US, UK, and Canadian losses but had little concept of all the others. Thanks for posting this as the toll needs to be remembered. -- Al

This web site breaks down the grim statistics. We should acknowledge the many service men and women who have been wounded (many in life changing ways) in these operations as well.

rob and I spoke about this on sunday. The servive for remembrance in the UK did a roll of those who have died from the UK since last year. To see friends and relatives on that list is, to say the least, grim.

Bucking for promotion my friend??? {sm4}{sm4}

The forum fast track to 4 star general is the song title thread- it's like warp factor 10 to Forum Chief of Staff status!! {sm4}{sm4}

I don't want to make this political, but when I sat and watched the roll of honour of our young men who had died in the last year go past my eyes, the majority of who were less than 25 years old, I thought this is not right, its not worth it, bring them home. Bomb them from the air or with missile if you want, but bring our lads home.

Certainly a lot of folks agree with you Rob. Still, no way we would see near the success we have seen in the middle east without these heroes stepping up and taking em out up close and personal. AQ is a foe that needs to get their butts kicked face to face. I don't think there is one person here in the States that would have rather seen UBL go up in a tomahawk strike- nope, that SOB got his just desserts from a very special spectre of death know as SEAL TEAM SIX!! {bravo}}{bravo}}

"Success" should be gauged on whether a US serviceperson can go walking with his/her local "sweety" outside of a basecamp on a Saturday night unarmed. Other than that it's just like living in Sea Lab where you can't really stay or even mingle with the locals w/o special suits.

While there is certainly merit to what you have to say, Chris, I am with Rob on this one. The brave Allied servicemen have risked their lives long enough, and accomplished everything we could reasonably have hoped for. Bin Laden and many other Al Quida terrorists are dead, and there hasn't been another successful terrorist attack in the United States. Blasting the terrorists from the air with smart weapons and not exposing our valuable servicemen, who hopefully will become the leaders in this country for the next generation, to further risk, is the preferred course of action as far as I am concerned.
