Slain Marine Sensed Insider Attack Was Coming, Dad Says -- CNN
Oceanside, New York (CNN) -- Deployed to a volatile outpost in southern Afghanistan where U.S. Marines routinely face a mix of skirmishes and hidden explosives, Greg Buckley Jr. sensed that an attack was imminent.

It's just senseless. 11 years in Afghanistan, and for what? Why are they still there ... To play politics and play with other lives, achieving nothing while they are doing it. 11 years and nothing learned from it,they still don't know why these green on blue incidents are happening despite the fact that it is blatantly obvious.
But no, promises were made and now lives are being thrown away because of it. Yet these green on blue incidents keep happening, and nobody is doing anything about it, no preventive measures are being taken, nothing. Madness.
