tragic losses escalate daily


Back in Blighty III


8 boys in 8 days,
My hhheart
Breaks for them,
8 boys in 8 days,
Have paid the
Ultimate price.

Another
Roadside bomb,
Invented by the
Hagannah,
Back in '43,
Against the Brits,
Now in dusty Afghan,
Still used
Against
The Brits,
Now my
People,
Too.

124 Canadian casualties in Afghanistan. Improvised explosive devices is there present day moniker.
Our people too.

As a hater of war, I hestitate to say it, but: I think the fight against the Taliban is a necessary, hence noble, fight. Let us hope these deaths are not in vain.
