A man wearing a suicide vest killed two U.S. service members and two U.S. contractors inside the largest NATO military base in Afghanistan early Saturday, the Pentagon said.
Another 16 U.S. service members and one Polish soldier were injured in the blast at Bagram Airfield, Defense Secretary Ash Carter confirmed in a statement.
"Force protection is always a top priority for us in Afghanistan, and we will investigate this tragedy to determine any steps we can take to improve it," Carter said. "For those who carried out this attack, my message is simple. We will not be deterred in our mission to protect our homeland and help Afghanistan secure its own future."

The attack occurred around 5:30 a.m. local time as people were gathering for a post-Veterans Day fun run.
No point in chasing around some well armed bearded goat herders who grow opium for a living. The only reason there are so many military out post is that the sales of war supplies and arms is a lucrative business...for a cold hearted elite. America does not win wars...it uses them to ensure that the military INDUSTIRAL complex thrives...at the expense of common people.
Last year I sat on the steps of a great monument in Washington. I man crouched down and we talked. He said he was the youngest person to serve in Viet Nam...A general wanted to make him a poster boy. This vet told me he asked the general "what was Viet Nam all about?" The general told him the truth...He said it was about weapons testing and was business as usual.
After looking at the Viet Nam memorial wall....I was disgusted...The cold hearted savage elite murdered all these young people for profit and adventure...horrific.
WHY...
Do we still have troops in Afghanistan?
Are we sending more troops to Iraq?
Are we involved in Syria's civil war?
Do we still have any troops anywhere in the Middle East?
I thought obama was going to bring our troops home 7 or 8 years ago. Why didn't he do it?
After all, HE HAS A PEN AND A PHONE!

It doesn't matter if it is a D or an R in the White House, corporations want to get their fair share of Federal dollars from monies allocated for defense.
And it's never been about defense, it's always been about defense contractors. Afghanistan is the perfect situation, a war halfway around the world with no chance of either ending or having a favorable outcome.
My sister was a real estate person...a high roller for a while. She knew this man who employed her as a kid. The guy eventually turned into an arms dealer. He built a fabulous house with an indoor pool...had a Rolls Royce in the drive way....I visited him on a few occasion cos my sister was staying there. I looked around and said to him....this place was built on blood money.
He answered saying...I saved lives- I armed BOTH sides referring to the Iran Iraq war...in other words he doubled the kill.
This jerk was allowed to operate with impunity in Canada...when he was running low some guy in Saudi Arabia would send him a big welfare check. What I learned from this is that war is business. Finally this character started to look like a decrepit Howard Hues. His hair had grown long...fingernails uncut...and his perch looked like a dogs bed.\
Even his daily whiskey bottle was gathering dust. He died in his bed while his kids smoked crack down stairs...both of his sons perished....His life ended horribly.
The point of this anecdotal story is to show....these parasites all get theirs in the end....there is cosmic justice...it just takes a long time.
But, but, but. We have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here.
Sound familiar?
Some goat herder with a beard and gun does not even know where America is on a map. Follow the money...which they never did...they ran off on a wild goose chase to Iraq and Afghanistan. When everyone knew that the Saudis had financed 9 11.
That is what I found perturbing about the killing of Osama Bin Laden. America was sending tons of money to Pakistan in the form of military aid....and there low and behold...Osama was staying in a compound around the corner of a large military base....Intelligence always knew where he was.
Then Clinton and Obama figure out they will pick some low hanging fruit to boost their ratings...So they killed Bin Laden...he was in political storage for years till the right time to use his death for political gain.
What a bunch of crap....
