This ABC report failed to report that when the Taliban was running Afghanistan, the opium trade was nearly extinct. Since the Taliban was not involved with 9/11 and was willing to arrest Bin Laden, there is no reason that our leaders cannot come up with a peace plan that involves the Taliban. The minority marxist government the US military installed is anti-muslim and will be overthrown. Why are we fighting the majority Taliban? Our soldiers die and our leaders just care about their careers.
Please note this was a AFGHAN security company with Afghans as guards , and I use the term security loosely because they are NOT professionals like other Civilian Contractors. They are NOT vetted like US or Englands Security company's at ALL. They have NO certifications, little training (if any) and may not even be Pryor military service. These Afghan company's hire right off the street and any warm body will do. This was bound to happen.
The Marine Corps' report, obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press through a FofA request, says 24-year-old Lance Cpl. Joshua Birchfield of Westville was shot Feb 19 when a security contractor working for a local company opened fire on a squad of Marines who had stopped in a dry riverbed during a combat foot patrol.
The military initially said he died while supporting combat operations in Afghanistan's Helmand province. The report said he actually died in the adjacent Farah province
I went to school with him. He had a good heart. Rest in peace dude.
