The video above is a BBC report about American Troops saving a woman and her unborn child. A male relative had shot the woman in the stomach, apparently trying to kill the baby. This incident happened in the tribal areas on the Pakistan and Afghanistan border.
Fortunately, for this woman and her baby American troops were in the vicinity. She and the baby were saved.
Thanks to LindaSog for bringing the video. As she points out, it’s pretty amazing for the BBC to do a piece like this on American troops.
Also, the BBC does imply that the woman is a ‘victim of Afghanistan’s conflict’ as pointed out by Beth in LindaSog’s comments. I noticed that referred to ‘the culture of the gun’ in Afghanistan. I don’t see it as a ‘culture of guns’ as much as a culture that completely disrespects women. In that culture the male relative was probably within his rights to kill the woman and child. If not with a gun than with whatever he wanted to use.
The truth is that the woman and baby would both be dead if not for the intervention of our Troops.
It’s nice to that someone mentions once in a while that our guys are the good guys!!!
Linda also posted it at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

What a beautiful story. It just amazes me that the MSM does not tell these stories. I know why they don’t but it still amazes me.
Did you see the story on WXIA about the local attorney that just returned from Afghanistan. His family were members of our church for years and I remember him and his sister. He did some wonderful things for the children he encountered there. You can read the blog he created: http://www.afghanistanjag.blogspot.com.
