One little life… saved
- Posted by LindaSoG on June 23rd, 2007 filed in Afghanistan, General, Support the Troops
The little guy’s mom was eight months pregnant and she was shot in the stomach by a family member.
On the Afghanistan border with Pakistan, our troops battled to save the lives of both mother and child.
Against all odds, our troops won the battle! It was touch and go for a while, but both Mom and baby are on their way to recovery.
Watch the clip, its amazing. I never would have expected such reporting from the BBC. I don’t know how it got past the anti-American, anti-war censors, but I’m grateful that it did. Imagine what life would be like if more of these stories slipped past the censors and into the living rooms of America.
G-d bless our Troops! USA! USA!! USA!!!
UPDATE From the comments on my site, our Beth points out…
And! Those tribal animals are utterly barbaric. A family member shot her in the abdomen to kill the baby!
I do notice the Beeb said this is a “victim of Afghanistan’s conflict,” as if this shooting wouldn’t ever have happened if there weren’t a war going on. YEAH, RIGHT. They’re f’ing animals. The only difference would be that nobody would be there saving the mother and baby. If anything, they’re BENEFICIARIES of Afghanistan’s conflict, but victims of 7th century Afghani culture.
You’re absolutely right Beth, thank you!

[...] I just watched a video that was in the “related videos” at this one. Stupid “antiwar” (scare quotes intentional–they’re anti-American, not antiwar) moonbats seem to think this video means the troops are against the war. Look how it’s described by the uploader (and echoed throughout the comments): This is a leaked video of US troops in what appears to be Iraq or Afghanistan. They’re tired of the war, America is tired of the war, and so is the rest of the world. Our troops are frustrated with this war, so bring them home. It’s time for America to stop policing the world.

Victim of the conflict?!? Which one? The one involving tribes or the one involving the US? Yeah I know what the Beeb is trying to imply. Still, good for our troops.
