Latest Kiwi Killed in Afghanistan

Yup, we have hit number six. Oddly enough, he was born in Western Samoa, which begs the question; how much of our armed forces are composed of foreign-born men and women? Paints a slightly disturbing picture for me, though at least it isn't another White Male dying heroically without a genetic legacy to leave behind.

Would someone care to remind me why we're in Afghanistan? At least we have a "good reason" for being in Iraq.
