There is no word on the nationality of the dead soldiers, but it is believed no American or Canadian soldiers were among the casulties.

KABUL — Roadside bombs killed five foreign soldiers in Afghanistan on Saturday, military officials said, extending a series of daily attacks that have lifted the death toll for foreign forces this year to more than 100.
Officials also reported that two Afghan soldiers died in a bombing and several militants were killed in each of three separate clashes with U.S.-led coalition forces, including one close to the capital.
Violence continues unabated in Afghanistan, despite the presence of thousands of extra U.S. and NATO troops and fresh pledges of financial aid to the struggling government under President Hamid Karzai.
Roadside bombs killed five foreign troops and five government soldiers Saturday, part of a surge of violence that has made Afghanistan's battlefields deadlier for foreign forces than those in Iraq.

Yes it is, making some think why stay, then when they see children being used as suicide bombers, reality and moral compasses kick in why they need to stay, thanks for the comments Amy and the Flag
