The U.S. Army general gunned down in Afghanistan on Tuesday was identified as Maj. Gen. Harold Greene, sources told NBC News. Greene, a two-star general, was the deputy commanding general for the Combined Security Transition Command in Afghanistan, which is in charge of the training and development of the Afghan National Security Forces.A lone gunman in Afghan military clothing is accused of ambushing more than a dozen Western soldiers at the Afghanistan National Military Academy in Kabul. About half of those wounded were Americans. Greene was a native of upstate New York and graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, in 1980 and earned a doctorate from the University of Southern California in materials science, according to his military biography.
If this country can ever transform back from post-America into the United States of America, the first order of business will be to focus on the threats against it, like sane grown-ups in the world's beacon of freedom and decency would.
