US soldier captured in Afghanistan
Militants are believed to have captured an American soldier in Afghanistan, the United States military said. "A US soldier who has been missing since June 30 from his assigned unit is believed to have been captured by militant forces," US military spokeswoman Captain Elizabeth Mathias said. "We are using all of our available resources to find him and provide for his safe return." She could not provide details, including the province where the soldier went missing. "We are not providing further details to protect the soldier's situation and well-being," she said. A commander of the Taliban's hardline Haqqani faction claimed that his militia had captured the soldier. "One of our commanders named Mawlawi Sangin has captured a coalition soldier along with his three Afghan guards in Yousuf Khail district of Paktika province," the commander, named only Bahram, sa It was believed to be the first such case in Afghanistan since US troops were deployed to oust the Taliban regime in 2001. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/07/02/2615485.htm |

I am surprised more havent been captured, you have been lucky. ahhh Messier,,,  are you not from Britain Sir,.,, Do we not have British soldiers there ?  Well, we are all in this together there is no you or i ...it is Us against them That is true. Though we are there only because you chose to go there. Politically we had to give you backup, or at least be seen to be giving you backup. Dont get me wrong, i want all the soldiers to return home safely. I just dont get shocked when things like this happen, war is war, its a horrible thing. Our governments chose to invade, and we have to expect casualties. |

 http://www.metacafe.com/watch/326294/pittance_of_time_a_tribute_to_troops/ They fought and some died for their homeland They fought and some died, now it's our land Look at his little child, there's no fear in her eyes Could he not show respect for other dads who have died Take two minutes, would you mind It's a pittance of time For the boys and the girls who went over In peace may they rest May we never forget why they died It's a pittance of time God forgive me for wanting to strike him Give me strength so as not to be like him My heart pounds in my breast Fingers pressed to my lips My throat wants to bawl out My tongue barely resists But two minutes, I will bide It's a pittance of time For the boys and the girls who went over In peace may they rest May we never forget why they died It's a pittance of time Read the letters and poems of the heroes at home They have casualties, battles and fears of their own There's a price to be paid if you go, if you stay Freedom's fought for and won in numerous ways Take two minutes, would you mind It's a pittance of time For the boys and the girls all over May we never forget, our young become vets At the end of the line It's a pittance of time It takes courage to fight in your own war It takes courage to fight someone else's war Our peacekeepers tell of their own living hell They bring hope to foreign lands That hate mongers can't kill Take two minutes, would you mind  It's a pittance of time For the boys and the girls who go all over In peacetime our best still don battle dress And lay their lives on the line It's a pittance of time In peace may they rest  Lest we forget why they died   |
