OAF (Operation Enduring Freedom) is showing 2 pending casualties to the list, but they are not supposed to be combat fatalities. See the next website - an independent watchdog website:

good news!

that's why the neocons are banging the drum for a new war they want others to fight for them.

 

[darroll]

Great News.

ZERO US troops died in battle in March, 2014

For the first time in over a decade, the US military can declare a month with absolutely ZERO combat fatalities:

Hats off to the troops for this great accomplishment!

Let's hope it's a pattern that continues.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Excellent. May we embark on another lengthy period of peace for our troops. Bring them home!

 

[R.C. Christian]

That sounds great, but I wonder how many civilian's died?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Cool. Why not start a thread about that.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Bring them all home.

 

[TemplarKormac]

That's good to hear. Now pull them out. Let next month be the same.

 

[HenryBHough]

Bring them all home.

Impossible.

They were all brought home in January, 2009 exactly as He promised.

Weren't they?

 

[Statistikhengst]

My thoughts:

After 11 years of casualty reports and the misery of losing many of our best and brightest and bravest, how nice it is to see such a statistic.

Those ZEROS are the sweetest ZEROS I have seen in a long time. Tears of joy close welling in me, knowing that no millitary families had to go through the horror of a funeral due to a battle death.

Just great news, great news. Best news thus far of 2014, if you ask me.

 

[R.C. Christian]

Bring them all home.

You can't have your pathetic empire without troops in over a hundred countries genius.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Bring them all home.

Impossible.

Why do you have to be such a dick on a thread as joyous as this one?

Have you lost that much touch with reality? Did you fall on your head, or what?

President Obama never promised that, and you know it.

 

[HenryBHough]

And think how the stats will look when Obama finishes the job and there are NO American troops to be exposed to danger anywhere. Except, of course, in their own homes.

Some honestly believe their New Messiah didn't promise to bring all the troops home sehr schnell but only 'cause they were busy chanting snappy slogans at the campaign rallies to hear much.

Yepp, leave it up to a fucked-up, whacked out RWNJ to ruin even a thread as joyous as this one. Drinking all that Tea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the best news of the year for me. I am concerned about the military suicide rate which has jumped to 25 a month. But with combat operations winding down I'm sure that rate will fall also.

When gays got the right to legally make lives miserable in the military didn't you already know suicides would increase? Get raped. Shut up. Or get dishonorably discharged as an intolerant homophobe.
