US military death toll in Afghanistan reaches 2,000

[Jimbuna]

The US military has suffered its 2,000th death in the Afghan war - with a suspected "insider" attack at a checkpoint in the east of the country.
A US soldier and a foreign contractor were killed while two Afghan soldiers died and four were injured.

At least 52 foreign soldiers - about half of them Americans - have been killed in so-called "green on blue" attacks this year, compared with 35 for the whole of last year.

Absolutely ridiculous...bring them all home, all nationalities.

Nato troops will withdraw by the end of 2014, but a number will remain to train Afghan security forces

I wouldn't want to stop there for all the tea in China...can't even trust your 'allies'.
