3 DEA AGENTS KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN COPTER CRASH, FIRST DEATHS OF THIS KIND THERE
Three Drug Enforcement Administration agents were killed Monday when a U.S. military helicopter went down in the west of Afghanistan, U.S. officials said. The casualties mark the first DEA deaths in Afghanistan since the drug agency began operations there in 2005. Seven U.S. service members were also killed in the crash in the west of the country. Officials say the helicopter had left the scene of a fire fight with insurgents.
“DEA is an extremely tight family, and the death of these three brave [emphasis mine] agents is a devastating loss* for us,” DEA administrator Michele Leonhart said in a statement. “No expressions of grief can adequately convey the depth of the collective sorrow that we feel for their loved ones.”
In the same way that I wouldn’t have been upset 200 years ago hearing that some government agent was killed while trying to stop a Black slave from the South who was fleeing for his freedom; in the same way that, since I consider the U.S. attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan are criminal actions and, therefore, do not support the U.S. soldiers cum murderers over there—nor have any sympathy for any U.S. soldiers who are killed over there; as a Libertarian I have no sympathy for any person killed while working for any gunvernment agency that is involved in preventing human beings from having control over their own bodies (which obviously includes what they put in their bodies). Does this make me a heartless person? No. It makes me an honest person.
“Brave” agents. Do you know what brave is? Standing up against all gunvernment tyranny—not just the obvious ones like our criminal military wars.

*How about the devastating loss to the families of many innocent civilians who die every day because recreational drugs are illegal and, therefore, has created a criminal class of people that commit murder during a robbery to support their drug habits? Without “brave” DEA agents to enforce the un-Libertarian drug laws, those civilians would not have been murdered.
dickboy kramer normally leads with his netnoob malapropisms and idjit-gimmick asterisk shtick, but today he decided to go full on against lew’s overt doctrine and sense, wrongly. it is not “Good News in the War Against Drugs” when crime syndicate agents die as in this story, and only a tag-along idiot would make that publi-seeking leap under herbert spencer.
david kramer, you should 1) STFU, 2) get the hell off the LRC blog permanently, and 3) raise your dumbass head above the fence again, after years of contemplation and improvement, only on your personal blog. like many LRC wanks, you seriously need a personal blog. get there, moron.
if lew doesn’t demand an edit/deletion on that post, i’ll be surprised. check back and see!
