From CNN World:
Eight NATO troops were killed in Afghanistan Thursday, bringing the number of foreign troop deaths in the past two days to 14, the International Security Assistance Force said.
An improvised explosive device attack killed three service members in the west, and two died in an insurgent attack in the south.
One died after an insurgent attack in the east, one died in an insurgent attack in the south and another was killed in an IED attack in the south.
It’s the first time since August 30 that so many international troops have been killed in hostile incidents in Afghanistan in a single day, according to CNN records. On that day, seven Americans, a Canadian and an Estonian were killed…
While we go at it hammer and tongs in this election battle, we should remember that a far more important battle is happening half a world away in Afghanistan. What we do here pales in significance compared to what they do there.
Remember them, always; pray for their safety and their victory. Upon the progress of our arms hangs the safety of the world.
