The wounded service member is in stable condition, according to officials from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2018\/05\/30\/why-should-the-us-stay-in-afghanistan-the-commander-of-coalition-forces-offers-his-views-as-he-departs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Resolute Support mission <\/a>in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2018\/08\/22\/trump-strategy-is-working-departing-general-in-afghanistan-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">Afghanistan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe sacrifice of our service member, who volunteered for a mission to Afghanistan to protect his country, is a tragic loss for all who knew and all who will now never know him,\u201d said Army <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2018\/09\/02\/us-general-assumes-nato-command-in-afghanistan\/\" target=_blank>Gen.

The Taliban control several districts across Afghanistan, and both groups have launched a relentless wave of attacks in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe world recognizes Afghanistan cannot be a safe haven for terrorism, the world recognizes that we cannot fail. I know this has been a long fight, and it has been generations for us, for the Afghan people,\u201d said Miller, who most recently led the Joint Special Operations Command, during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2018\/09\/02\/us-general-assumes-nato-command-in-afghanistan\/\" target=_blank>change of command ceremony <\/a>Sunday in Kabul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The service member is the sixth American killed in Afghanistan this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":45215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":8,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,8,12,25],"tags":[],"coauthors":[504],"class_list":["post-24366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-flashpoints","category-news","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"INJGBU7NCJGQZCDKIMBXCUVAWA","arc_canonical_url":"\/flashpoints\/2018\/09\/03\/us-service-member-killed-in-apparent-insider-attack-in-afghanistan\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
