The Pentagon on Friday reported the first death of a U.S. soldier in Iraq in its new mission to combat Islamic State militants who have seized large areas of Iraq and Syria.
Marine Lance Corporal Sean Neal, a 19-year-old old from California, died in Baghdad on Thursday in what a Pentagon statement described as a non-combat incident. Further details about how Neal died were not immediately available. Earlier this month, a U.S. Marine was deemed lost at sea after he fell from an aircraft into the Arabian Gulf. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/california-marine-is-first-soldier-to-die-in-iraq-on-us-mission-against-islamic-state/2014/10/25/3afb8c3e-5bf4-11e4-b812-38518ae74c67_story.html |

It is amazing how many non combat deaths there are in combat zones.
RIP Marine. |

Kid from my high school was killed in Iraq, caught between vehicles. Bad things happen around big machines.

NTC often loses one Soldier a rotation. Heavy equipment, lack of sleep and operating at night is a recipe for accidents, and those accidents are very often fatal. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Heavy equipment, lack of sleep and operating at night is a recipe for accidents, and those accidents are very often fatal. Yep. Rollovers in steep wadis, dust storms, and ridiculous temperature fluctuations. Even simple things like a slamming drivers hatch on a 113 caused a severe neck injury on one of my rotations. |

Iran has a few, mainly protection for a general who is advising. The rest of the Iranians in Iraq are in the north fighting with the Kurds/ wondering where in the blue fuck Turkey is at. |

Turkey for the longest time, after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, was extremely anti-fundamentalist. Lately that has started to change. I guess they're beginning to forget the lessons of World War I. I forget the specific details, but it has a lot to do with who is in their current government. i.e. the moderates became a minority if not pushed out. Calling DK_Prof...... |

Daesh is fighting the Kurds. Turkey hates the Kurds. Why intervene?
