Australian troops could begin pulling out from Afghanistan in the coming months and may have exited the country almost entirely by the end of next year, Prime Minister Julia Gillard of Australia said Tuesday.
That would mean that most of the more than 1,500 Australian soldiers in Afghanistan could have left a year earlier than the government had previously suggested.President
Karzai: We're ready to defend our nation
That timetable puts Australian forces on a quicker withdrawal timetable than Gillard had previously described. In a speech to parliament in November, she had said that the transition in Uruzgan might well be completed before the end of 2014.

I would love to say I found the IED today, but I'll have to wait until I'm an 80-year-old grandpa. For now I have to tell the truth, the Afghan National Army Soldiers we were with found it. It wasn't much of a surprise, the Canadian Soldiers who are partnered with them told us last night the ANA find nine out of ten of them. It's because they've been doing it for more than six years and they know these roads and the Taliban.

While Americans traditionally take Memorial Day to look back and remember the men who have given to their country, the women who have entered the battlefield often go unnoticed. 150 female US soldiers have been killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and as Amber Stone of Military Families Speaks Out says, even once off the frontline there is a war within that is never truly silenced. Stone speaks to RT about her ordeals on and off the front.
