File under: Taliban

#1 The Interior Ministry announced that Afghan and foreign security forces had killed more than 1,500 insurgents in about 80 operations across Afghanistan since March. About 530 more, including 23 would-be suicide bombers, were captured.

re Talibs: Imagine the numbers of untreated or poorly treated shrapnel injuries the Talibs substain when dinged by our weapons...

I doubt if the Talibs even have one case of blood expander [in their entire inventory] with them to avert the wounded from slipping into deadly shock? Most of their severely wounded probably bleed to death before any infection sets in anyway..

Even small wounds from shrapnel will/can fester [get infected]. [perhaps sum Dr. would opine why thisn is the case]

Of course unlike the Talibs we've got the Best trained and Best supplied group of "Docs" the World has ever seen. Every one of our Army Medics, Marine Medics and Navy Corpsmen are Spectacularly Superior to any of the runner ups in the first World let alone DirtStan..

Today our "Docs", just as they did in the wars of yore, are putting it on the line on a regular basis saving our kids. Many of them get killed and wounded doing their selfless work.

These brothers perform the highest duty of all..

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

/ Doc, I'll see you soon...

#2 Again, Karzai blasts NATO for killing Pashtos (he is one).

Look Karzai: either you do something youself about Taliban use of human shields, or we will continue to support use of broad target weaponry. We want close infantry contact with the enemy only as a last resort, because we seek to preserve the lives of our soldiers. Once we corner terroists on the ground, we want them blasted from above. And we are well aware that Taliban rakes off 5% share of the heroin trade, and that you Pashtos cultivate most of that killer crop.
