In an incident NATO officials say had nothing to do with militants, an Afghan interpreter shot and killed two US soldiers overnight in Wardak Province. The interpreter was then killed by other troops.
Officials say the interpreter had no apparent ties to militants, and was rather a “disgruntled employee” who was arguing with the troops about pay and treatment before the incident.
Being an interpreter for international forces in Afghanistan is an exceedingly dangerous job, and quite often when soldiers are killed in an ambush the interpreter is slain as well. This appears to be the first time, however, that an interpreter has killed somebody.
I'd be laughing if it weren't all so sad. This is so absurdly pathetic.
Too bad the interpreter got killed.
i think he ,they/them pronounced CONSCIOUNCESS OBJECTER wrong,or willed freedom not at others exspense
They knew the risks when they joined.
Hey!!! one of those soldiers was a 19 year old member of my company. It was his first deployment and he had only been there two weeks. He was a great guy and deserve to be respected. There is nothing funny about this at all. We are out there every day wondering what will happen and will it be us. So show some respect and honor these people regardless if you agree with this war or not. This is tragedy.
