What is a "Sapper?" I was a "Sapper" in the United States Army Combat Engineers during the Korean War and we are the soldiers who many times move out in front of the infantry to take out enemy land mines, booby traps, and anything that could blow up causing injury or death to our troops. The "Sappers" have a motto: "Let Us Try." In this video you see a team of "Sappers" from the United States Marine Corps Combat Engineers doing what they are trained to do in Afghanistan. It is dangerous work, but somebody has to do it.

"COLLATERAL DAMAGE"---100 AFGHAN CIVILIANS KILLED BY U.S. AIR STRIKES (GRUESOME VIDEO)
The U.S. military calls it "collateral damage," but to the Afghanistan women, children and men on the ground it is a savage atrocity. More than 100 Afghan civilians were killed recently in an U.S. air strike on a small village in Afghanistan. The U.S. commanders say the Taliban hideout in homes occupied by civilians, but the Afghanistan people disagree with that determination. In any event, the United States military is NOT winning the "hearts and minds" of the Afghanistan people.

We are going to send in more than 20,000 more U.S. troops into Afghanistan.
