Five people were killed as a US army
helicopter crashed in southern Zabul province of Afghanistan Sunday.
"A US military CH-47 Chinook helicopter crashed southwest of Deh
Chopan today killing all five crew members onboard," said a press
release of the military.
"The cause of the crash is unknown at this time. There are no
indications of hostile fire involved at this time. An investigation has
been initiated into the cause of the crash," it said.
"US military ground forces are at the crash scene providing
security and recovery operations are ongoing," it noted.
The aircraft was supporting operations in the area at the timeof
the crash, it said.
Deh Chopan, the hotbed of Taliban militants, has been the sceneof
violent skirmishes over the past two years.
The militants who failed to derail the landmark September 18
parliamentary polls have vowed to continue Jihad or holy war until the
US-dominated foreign troops leave Afghanistan.
Over 1,200 people with majority of whom militants have been killed
since the beginning of this year. KABUL, Sept. 25 (Xinhuanet)

Good news - 5 more of the American Nazi troops died. These cowards who like to bomb clay huts from the safe distance of a B52 are at least not immortal. To bad that not moore of this Nazi cowards did die.
...a good American soldier, is a dead American soldier.

To a certain extent, I understand your anger. Only most soldiers are undereducated people coerced into the killer brigades. Ironically, the average soldier finds himself killing and getting killed for the very corporates responsible the social injustice that got him enrolled in the first place. This is not to say that a soldier is absolved for being ignorant, but you’re lashing out at the donkey not its master. Soldiers are cheap cannon fodder easily replenished from large parts of society that are kept in economic bondage.

Tell me one thing! The American Nazi soldiers have been told in Nuremberg they are fully responsible!
So, why aren’t your Nazi troops fully responsible for the attrocities the commit!
Or is it just that two rules apply for Americas crime and the rest of the world? What an argumentation?
