BAGHDAD: A US soldier was killed and two others hurt in a road accident in Iraq, a coalition statement said Thursday.

One of the injured in the accident on Tuesday evening in Balad, 75 kilometres (45 miles) north of Baghdad, was flown to Germany and the second was released after treatment.

The US-led coalition declined to give further details of the dead soldier until family were notified.

2. It just pisses me off no end

that "accidental" deaths and injuries are dissmissed so callously! These poor (literally) soldiers are over in Iraq doing the criminals' dirty-work for them and the bastards don't even have the modicum of decency required to treat their own minions with respect and dignity! If a soldier is killed in the war zone, performing his/her duty, then that is a death equal to any other in the zone. And, as an aside, who, anymore, believes any of these "accident" stories? These lying pukes have no regard for their own soldiers or the truth! Sorry for the rant.

3. No Problem with the Rant

I wish more people here were righteously PISSED OFF.

4. This is so out of hand now

I hope his (assuming it's a he) family is able to find peace.

Wishing a quick recovery to the injured soldiers.
