>Two U.S. servicemen were killed in an operation against the Islamic State in Afghanistan, the Pentagon confirmed Thursday.

The special operations troops were conducting a raid in eastern Afghanistan on Wednesday when they were killed. A third American sustained minor injuries during the raid, which also involved Afghan security forces.

The names of the servicemen have not yet been released. The Pentagon did not immediately release further details of the incident.

The incident raises the death toll of American servicemen killed in combat in Afghanistan this year to three and highlights the emerging threat of the Islamic State in the country.

There's absolutely no evidence to indicate any of the ISAF members have any plans to win the war.

Your claim sounds like a bizarre conspiracy theory.

This chicanery has gone on for so long, pretty sure the officials and bureaucrats now managing this war don't even remember why there are US forces there.

Notice since the war an ever increasing usage in the US and elsewhere of heroin? Surely there is no correlation.

Opium production control.
>Since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the area under opium cultivation in the country has increased 23 fold to an area nearly ten times the size of Washington, D.C., while production of the illicit drug has skyrocketed 18-fold, from 185 metric tons to 3,300.

2001 is when Osama B was "supposedly" in Afghanistan but ten years and many Generals fired later found out he was hiding in Pakistan the entire time. Now it is just a summer camp for the U.S. military.

Both were from Ranger Regiment. It was an assault on a civilian prison run by ISIS-K. One young Ranger, Ranger Rodgers, was 22 years old. Upwards of 40 enemy fighters were slotted during the engagement. RLTW
