KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Roadside bombs in Afghanistan have killed five U.S. service members in different parts of the country.

NATO says two died in the west, two in the south and one in the east. And Britain's Defense Ministry says a British soldier was killed in a blast during a vehicle patrol in southern Helmand province. Their deaths brought to 14 the number of U.S. and other international troops killed so far this month.

A tally by The Associated Press shows June was the deadliest month of the war for U.S. and international forces at 103 killed, including 60 Americans.

Meanwhile, the Afghan Ministry of Interior reports that six Afghan civilians, including a woman, died after their vehicle hit a roadside bomb Sunday. Another civilian was killed and four others were wounded in a separate incident

Makes me sick.

One local young man came home last week, in a coffin. I knew his father and grandfather. The road was lined with grieving AMERICANS. We hill billy white trash mourn our own, the reason he was there is of no interest, there were no protesters, just one of our own, grieved by his own kind, no one else matters.

Cynicom, I'm sorry for your loss.

According to an article I read that reportedly sent the PTB into fits, if I remember correctly, those 60 dead Americans translate into $600 million insurance payoffs into the pockets of the "government" [forget if that's DC or the Federal Reserve/City of London banksters]. Maybe if people understood that the UNITED STATES is a corporation, that financially profits off the service and/or death of those who sign up in its military, it would bring a screeching halt to this madness.

Wow, this is the first time I've heard this. Are you saying you read each member is "insured" for many millions of dollars, payable to theStateInc?

The last election was visible proof that Americans have indeed accepted unending war.

Ron Paul alone said bring all the troops all the way home. He was brushed aside as 120 million voters voted for endless war. Party made no difference then nor now.
