Three US Soldiers Killed in Afghan Unrest
Source: VOA

So this is a war on "unrest" now in Afghanistan, we are fighting "unrest".

NATO says two separate bomb explosions killed three U.S. service members Sunday in southern Afghanistan. No other details were given.

On Saturday, a roadside bomb also killed two U.S. soldiers in the same region.

Meanwhile, NATO says a bomb exploded in a market Saturday in the southern part of Helmand province, killing two children and wounding two others.

Earlier Saturday, a 16-year-old Afghan boy stepped on a homemade bomb in Tanai district of southeastern Khost province. The bomb exploded, killing him.

13. This is the fight of a popular resistance.
Ask the Danes, the Norwegians, and the French, the Czechs the Polish….

This is what happens when you occupy other lands.
