Just when we thought the conflict in Afghanistan was over, another American soldier was killed. The remains of Mjr. General Harold Greene were returned to Fall Church. Va. today. The two star Army general was fatally shot Tuesday when a man wearing an Afghan soldier's uniform, possibly a mole the Taliban claimed worked for them, opened fire in a training facility in Kabul . Gen. Green, 55 was the commanding general for the Combined Security Transition Command, and had made a routine stop on a training mission when he died. His command was responsible for helping transfer security control back to the Afghans.
More than a dozen coalition troops were also wounded during the attack.
Gen. Greene was a 30-year veteran and the highest ranking officer killed in the line of duty since the Sept. 11, 2001 attack.
