ALASKA – An Alaska-based soldier, of Tokyo, Japan, died Monday after sustaining wounds when his unit was attacked with improvised explosive devices and small arms fire.

He was assigned to the 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne) 25th Infantry Division and deployed in December for Operation Enduring Freedom.

A memorial will be held at JBER and the next of kin have been notified.

Another unneccessary death for the profit of the neo conservatives. The profiteers and their bought off American politicians and imbedded and burrowed operatives and officials in the three branches of the gov't, they went into collusion with are raking in the blood money profits off the deaths of Americans. We spend trillions in order to realize profits for the neo cons. They get the profits and we get the trillions in bills and the resulting terrorist attacks. No ethics, morality or legal standing from our bought US Supreme Court on down.
