I regret that I must report on yet another death of a US soldier in Afghanistan……
A U.S. service member died in combat Thursday in Afghanistan a little over a week after two Army Green Berets were killed by enemy small-arms fire.
A statement from Operation Resolute Support officials in Kabul did not identify the service member or branch of service. Pentagon policy mandates that names of personnel killed are not released until 24 hours after the next of kin are notified.
This latest casualty marks the 15th service member to die in combat in Afghanistan in 2019, which has become the deadliest year since the U.S. formally ended combat operations in 2014.

Sad news indeed. I am sorry to hear about another death, and so close to the supposed ‘deal’ too.
Best wishes, Pete.

Very sad news. I thought they will end up with a deal? Are the new combats for forcing some interests? ;-( R.I. P. Michael
