Yesterday around 18:00 Dutch time a taliban rocket atack killed Privat 1ste class Azdin Chadli,
Also five others including 1 women got wounded. two are stil in critical conditions.
This happend in "Kamp holland" near the town of Tarin kowt, Uruzgan Province, Afghanisthan.
Azdin Chadli and 4 other who where wounded all where part of the 42the Armored Infantry battalion "'Limburgse Jager". This is the same Unit I am part of.. I was supose too be there around this time, but becose of a injury I couldnt go. The peaple wounded and killed where just there. (2 weeks) So It had quite a impact on me and my colleuges
.
Yesterday around 22:00 we got the news when we where in the cinima, we where imiditaly called back to base, shock the hell out of us. And since then everyone is kinda in a "wtf" stage.. we dont realy what to think and what to do.
This morning we wanted to go to the forest to take a moment for ourselfs without everyone asking stuff, the moment we tryed to get of the base, a army of journalist came towards uss asking the most STUPIT questions I ever heard!
Anyways I told them to go the the Press Officer, Then I got shouted at by him, I just didnt say a word back, just dont want to see myself punshing the shit out of a journalist for good television. But its frustrating, especialy cose we are with just 30 men from the battalion. Anyways we just went back, jumped in the back of a truck hide there, and got out in the forest.
Now we are prepairing a "ramp cermonie" as soon as everyone is back, and we know when the body wil return.
One of the strangest days in my life..
War is sudently very close for me.
Rest in peace Azdin Chadli
