Afghan land mine kills U.S. troops

A land mine exploded under a U.S. vehicle south of Kabul, killing four soldiers in the deadliest incident for American troops in Afghanistan in almost 10 months, the military said.

They were from the same camp as the boyfriend of a good friend of mine. She's sweating bullets until he comes home in Aug.

My neighbor just left for there yesterday for another year of deployment.

Praying for him, his family and all our Soldier's safe return.

but aren't you over there now ?

Good luck, stay safe - and tell us some stories.

Yes i am in Afghanistan, posting via a sattelite connection with a certain delay so bear with me, as if that wasn't enough i use something called JAP and anon proxy thingy to be able to post to anywhere out anytime i am close to a computer.

It uses several servers so the IP can come from your IP at times i guess or at any IP, i am not sure how it works but it works.

I'll tell you some stories, later on when i am home, right now i am posting in a frenzy because my time online is limited.

Take care, i will keep my head down when i can.

To b0mberman: Thank you.
