"5 Vt. soldiers wounded in big Afghan attack

Five Vermont National Guard soldiers were among those wounded helping repel an attack last week on the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan, but none of them suffered life-threatening injuries, their commander said Thursday.

Another week later report.

Pffft
!


Col. Will Roy said one Vermont soldier needed to be evacuated to the United States for treatment of a serious leg wound. He wouldn't identify any of the wounded. Roy said the Vermonters, along with servicemen from a U.S. Air Force security squadron, repelled the early morning May 19 attack by insurgents on Bagram Air Force Base. A U.S. contractor died and two U.S. Marines and two Air Force security personnel were also wounded. "The attack, I will say, was not unexpected, you're always prepared for something like this to happen," Roy said.

That was the brief I received in my printed paper.


I guess you had to catch this article while surfing the Globe website on a certain, select, and specific time, huh, readers?

Sigh.


--more--"

When I'm surfing the web that is not where I'm going, folks.


Isn't that censorship?


That's why I'm sick of reading them and tossing out the clippings and unread stacks of Boston Globes.

Why even buy 'em anymore if I'm not reading them?

Why even go there?

As if the point needed emphasizing:

"Taliban leader may have died in battle

But....

However....

Yeah, pass that salt shaker as another innocent soul is laid to rest.
