But we're told they love us. So sad.


KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - An Afghan teenager fatally stabbed an American soldier in the neck as he played with children in eastern Afghanistan, officials said Monday, as the U.S. death toll rose sharply last month with an uptick in fighting due to warmer weather.

Last week's calculated attack shows that international troops still face a myriad of dangers even though they are increasingly taking a back seat in operations with Afghan forces ahead of a full withdrawal by the end of 2014.

A series of so-called insider attacks on foreign troops by Afghan forces of insurgents disguised as them has threatened to undermine the trust needed to help President Hamid Karzai's government take the lead in securing the country after more than 11 years at war.

The attack that killed Sgt. Michael Cable, 26, of Philpot, Ky., last Wednesday occurred after the soldiers had secured an area for a meeting of U.S. and Afghan officials in a province near the volatile border with Pakistan.

But one of two senior U.S. officials who confirmed that Cable had been stabbed by a young man said the assailant was not believed to have been in uniform so it was not being classified as an insider attack...

Those people hate us, I wouldn't go near any of those children. R.I.P to the Soldier.

I think you're right. And the tragedy of it is they have cause to hate us.

I just want our men and women out there, I could care less if they have good reason to hate us.

I just want our men and women out there . . .

I don't know what you mean by, "want our men and women out there." Out where?

I could care less if they have good reason to hate us.

I don't believe you've given enough thought to that issue. Are you saying the concept of right vs wrong means nothing to you?

Don't you know that hate was the motivation for the 911 attack? It's also the motivation for all such terrorist attacks.

When a people have shown they are willing to sacrifice their own lives to strike at you it's smart to avoid pissing those people off. There are few things more dangerous than someone who is ready and willing to die.

Time to pull out the troops and sterilize the entire area. Turn all of Afghanistan into an uninhabitable wasteland for the next ten thousand years.

I made a typo, I meant to say I want our men and women out of there, as in back home.
