ALOY...thank you for your post...now matter how many times I hear stories like this...it always makes me chake up!

Newton, Thank you for your service...about your statement that 50% of his unit was KIA all has to do with the size of his unit.  A total of 961 American warriors of all branches of the service have been KIA in OEF since troops 1st deployed to Afghanistan 10 years ago (including the 1st month 0f 2010).  An additional 626 coalition troops of all nations have also been KIA.
