3 Australian troops killed in Afghanistan

Smith, Gillard and other chicken hawks are always fast off the draw to tell us fibs about progress made with the Afghan security forces.

Operation: USELESS DIRT continues with no strategic worth toward the defence of Australia.

The killings follow a similar incident in June when Lance-Corporal Andrew Jones was gunned down by a local soldier while on guard duty.

The murder follows the death of dozens of Coalition troops at the hands of Afghan soldiers during the 10-year conflict, including eight US troops killed in Kabul in April.

Some Afghanistan National Army troops remain fiercely loyal to their tribal leaders. They have questionable backgrounds and are answerable only to Afghan authorities.

Aussie troops have long-held concerns about rogue Afghan soldiers.

Their fears stem from numerous incidents where the Afghans have been high on opium.

Next up; I can hear the platitudes off in the distance from our cowards in political office.
