A suicide car bomber on Saturday killed 13 troops and civilian employees of the NATO-led force in Kabul, including Americans and a Canadian, in the deadliest single ground attack against the coalition in 10 years of war in Afghanistan.

"Five International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) service members and eight ISAF civilian employees died following a suicide vehicle-born improvised explosive device attack in Kabul earlier today," ISAF said in a statement.

Kabul is usually considered a calm area compared to the southern regions where the Opium and oil pipe lines are.

They say the Taliban has claimed responsibility. The crooked Afghan government must have pissed off the Taliban again. This corruption is what is killing our troops.

If the governments we put in place were actually for the people we might be able to succeed in this Afghan mission. It's always sad to lose troops, it always hits Canadians hard.

Our media only shows the die hard supporters. You never see the parents that speak out against the mission get any air time. All the ones you see on TV say their child supported the mission they died for. I have many family in the military. They respect their country but they know it's just a job. They don't buy the whole "liberating" hoax. It's an obvious occupation.

I remember a few years back when I signed up for a career in the Canadian Forces. The recruiters didn't think much of me from looking at me, but were astonished when I scored high enough in their cognitive testing to have any job I want (aside from pilot).

Then I made the mistake of stating that I wanted to serve my nation, to protect it from all geopolitical threats and to work towards a better life for future generations of my people. Shortly after, I received a letter from some "health" military institution in Ontario stating that I did not meet the mental compency standards of the Canadian Forces, and the recruiters were unnecessarily hostile towards me after that.

I almost feel bad for fellow Canadians who end up as casualties of war only because they signed up for the paycheck. Almost.
