The cost of America's global military empire hits home

Union-Tribune:
A staff sergeant from San Diego was one of three Marines who were fatally shot Friday night in the Garmser district of southern Afghanistan.

Scott Dickinson, 29, who attended Horizon Christian Academy in the Clairemont neighborhood, was killed by an Afghan working on an installation shared by international coalition and Afghan forces.

[...]

The shooting was the second of the day involving Marines in Afghanistan’s Helmand province. Earlier Friday, three Marine special forces operatives were killed in the Sangin district by a man wearing the uniform of an Afghan policeman. They were with Camp Pendleton’s 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion.
Many Encinitas families send their kids to Horizon. Will we still be unwelcome military occupiers in foreign lands around the globe when those kids are of service age?



The Leucadia Blog also has its focus beyond city limits today. Global military empire is expensive in treasure as well as in blood.

  1. Note to Afghanistan- We know you hate our guts, what you don't know is we HATE your guts also.
    We hate your guts because you are and always will be a 5th, yes that's a FIFTH, world country. A country that subjugates women and children into 2nd or even 3rd class human beings. A country that worships a pedophile. A country that accepts Taliban fag pedophiles as glorified keepers of afcrapistan. (Read rule 19 of the Taliban) and for those of you offended by the term fag, I use it in reference to men that RAPE little boys, ie Jerry Sandusky-fag pedophile, versus Gay, which is two ADULT men in a consenting sexual relationship. Big difference!!
    Bush lied men died.
    Obama lies, men STILL die.
    Fuck them both!!
    It's time to get OUT of Afcrapistan and leave it to be the HELL hole, SHIT hole it is and always will be.

    1. Do you use the word "nigger" in reference to any African Americans who've committed crimes?

    2. Are you a Christian?
