More Deaths in Afghanistan

[Rollins]

Does it really matters though?

If it mattered I would have written that.  I said that I'd be interested to see the makeup of the units over there in the action.
Thanks Hornet.
Looking more, looks to be a mix of French Marines (airborne), French Marines (mechanized) and Foreign Legion (airborne).
I'd be surprised if any of the Legionnaires allowed themselves to be captured.

I doubt they surrendered. Probably wounded. They were fighting for 24 hours.

A sad day.

to the Frenchmen. I do hope people in the U.S. quit reffering to them as "cheese-eating surrender monkey's" after this.

Honestly, their new president has given me quite a bit more respect to the French than before.

I would point out that we have some opposition here to our invovlments' in Iraq and Afghanistan both; It tends' to get highlighted whenever there are casualty reports.
