#3 It crossed my mind that this is one of the first casualties from Afghanistan in recent memory where one of the good guys was killed by an enemy bullet.

Of course there are others, but it seems so infrequent compared to fatalities by other means.

#6 Somewhere down the line, we Americans will find a way to show sufficient thanks to our Australian allies. Increased tourism will be a damn good start but, hopefully, simple gifts, scholarships or publicly sponsored grants will make their way to one of the few nations that truly seems to "get it". Bless Oz and her bonzer people.
