Four Americans killed at Bagram AB (Updated)
The other day we talked about a suicide bomber who attacked Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan and killed four. At the time, the media made it sound as if it was local nationals who were killed. It turns out they were Americans, according to The Army Times
Two U.S. service members and two American contractors were killed by a suicide bomber early Saturday on Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield, the U.S. military said.
Sixteen American troops and one Polish soldier were wounded in the blast.
The attack was carried out by “an apparent suicide bomber,” Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Saturday in a written response to the incident. It occurred around 5:30 a.m. local time.
According to NBC News the group was gathering for a post-Veterans’ Day “fun run” when they were attacked. According to BBC, the perp was a local employee and former Taliban fighter, Qari Enayatullah, who had switched sides for the “peace process” offered by the Afghan government in 2008.
The Army Times identifies the two soldiers killed;
Sgt. John Perry, 30, and Pfc. Tyler Iubelt, 20, were deployed with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Special Troops Battalion, 1st Sustainment Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, according to the release.

Guess his “conversion” didn’t take. (Shocked face.)
OK, for all muslims, as of this date, if you want to please allah, you MUST put on your explosive vest, stand in the middle of a very large field and test the effectiveness of your vest! If you don’t do this, you do NOT get your 72 virgin goats!
I saw that but was still unsure whether Americans were killed. The reports are unclear to this moment, which makes me wonder why.
Those who “switch” sides can never really be trusted, unless you shoot them behind the ear. Then you know they can’t be turned back again when their current deal lacks appeal or they implement their pre-turn plans because they never actually turned.
Again, it’s simple. Once a fucking rat bastard, always a fucking rat bastard.
While I respect to dedication to purpose, if you can’t trust them you need to put them down.
I used to trust our Chieu Hoi Kit Carson Vietnamese scouts, until I caught a new one trying to leave four blocks of C-4 under a helmet liner just outside the perimeter wire when we were withdrawing from a firebase my company had secured. Traitors warrant especially close scrutiny.
Just because he took a deal to transition from Taliban to not-Taliban, who the ever loving fuck gave this guy a job on a US Base?
And what the fuck is up with the ECP that he can bring a bomb in like that?
The way the media reported it, I was thinking it was just locals too, until I heard about the “Run” they did. I’m guessing they also had posters for it all over the base too. He knew when, where and how to hit them.
No OpSec on the run? Smart.
Looks like the U.S. Embassy in Kabul was closed to. I knew about the Americans killed right away. It was on twitter.

Now I’ll be sweating it until I hear about my nephew. He’s a contractor in the sandboxes.

I am terribly sorry to read that. I held onto hope that maybe, just maybe it wouldn’t be so.
