3 U.S. troop deaths in Iraq lead to highest toll in 3 years

Baghdad (CNN) -- Three more U.S. service members were killed in Iraq, making June the deadliest month for American troops in combat since 2008.

A total of 14 troops have been killed in combat this month, and another service member died in a noncombat-related incident. This was the highest number of combat deaths since June 2008, when 23 U.S. service members were killed.

Jesus, you're a fucking idiot. If you hadn't been called on it, would you have corrected your little "mistake", Blabo?
 
As long as US troops remain in Iraq, they will be attcked! They were killed by a rocket attack! More than likely by a Katyusha rocket, you can use a rocket launcher to fire multiple rockets or
they could, however, be fired individually, with very little accuracy but great portability; guerrillas could put them in a crude trough launcher, connect the rocket igniter to a time fuze, and be long away from the launching site when the rocket fired into the general area of the target. This technique is used by Palestinian guerrillas attacking Israeli targets, and by the Viet Cong in harassing bases.
I experience them in Vietnam, very hard hitting! 122MM

I wonder what Blabo the lying chickenhawk experienced in the way of enemy action?

No, they do not have those in Iraq. It was either an EFP or RPG.

Google Katyusha rockets in Iraq, they get them from Iran!

I know what they are. The Iranians never received that many, as the soviets wanted to hang on to them. The attack you lited is more an exception than the rule. I traveled about 70% of the country and never saw any of them in any of the cachs we discovered or blew up.
