Irish Mercenary injured in Afghanistan

national | anti-war / imperialism | news report

Wednesday July 23, 2008 14:47

by sceal

mer·ce·nar·y
adjective

1. Motivated solely by a desire for monetary or material gain.
2. Hired for service in a foreign army.

A mercenary from Dublin was among the latest person injured in the continuing occupation of Afghanistan. Martin Delaney, from County Dublin, was fighting with the British Army in Helmand Province. Last week a nineteen year old man from Belfast had his leg amputated because of injuries he received while fighting with the same unit.

About 110 people have been killed fighting with the British during the occupation of Afghanistan. No figures are available for the numbers of Afghans who have been killed by the occupation forces.

The British army recruits mercenaries from many countries, but no other European Union state allows its citizens to fight for them.
