Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene (thats a two Star General to those in the media who are attempting to downplay the significance of his rank), was laid to rest today at Arlington National Cemetery. Greene was murdered last week as he visited Afghanistan’s national military academy in Kabul. There have been dozens of insider attacks this year alone in Afghanistan. As of June, 87 such attacks had killed 142 troops with the U.S.-led coalition and wounded 165 others, according to the Long War Journal, an online publication focused on counterterrorism and Islamic radicalism. Greene was the highest-ranking U.S. Army officer killed in combat since the Vietnam War.
