The 65th Killed Him
A poignant portrait of one more death in Afghanistan: British staff sargeant Olaf 'Oz' Schmid, a former cook who "didn't believe in the gung-ho stuff" but volunteered to learn bomb disposal skills. Over five months, he defused 64 bombs. The 65th killed him.

Well, we have some good news and some bad news Olaf....you Are going home with your legs...they are packed in the box with the rest of the bits we found.
sorry, no sympathy for facists.
This is no place to defame anyone who has died in Bush & Cheney's bloody wars!!! This man was not killing innocents!! He was saving lives!!
Bush & Cheney & Co. should have nightmares that everyone who has died is sleeping with them!!!!
He was saving the lives of killers so they could kill some more. If the US led coalition left, far fewer IEDs would be planted. Plus, the EDs doing the most killing are those made in conventional factories in places like the USA.
Its not heroic to join the army.
I'm sure his family feel as bad as those of the civilians he helped kill.
What's to say? The poor bastard flinched on number 65.
