File under: Taliban

#1 The soldier had been in the country only a few weeks.

Shades of Vietnam. The highest casualty rate was usually among the "new guys" that had just arrived "in-country". Survive the first three months, and the chances were pretty good you'd survive the tour.

The Aussies - always in the fight with us for freedom. God Bless 'em all!
