    Can we have a running tally on their losses once they start operating anywhere serious?

    Over a hundred of them working across the Country, some of them for nearly 3 years non-stop. None have been killed when they have been working in their assigned role.

    Do you have a point or just trying to live up to your name?

    Funny cos I witnessed the afghan callsign I was mentoring pull an IED out of the ground, stick it in the back of their Ranger and proceed to drive it back to their PB over rough ground.

    Stupid as fuck yes. But they aren't afraid to get amongst it.

    Officer killed while trying to defuse bomb - UPI.com

    The select committee briefing didn’t go well either... When they asked if the Afghans were going to be ready to take over EOD. The briefer replied a resounding “NO” and when asked the reason he quoted a numeracy and literacy rate of 2% as the first of many reasons.

    But no youre right, no Afghan bomb disposal have been killed!!!
    The newspapers must have been talking about a different Afghanistan EOD Unit.
