Maj Gen Harold Greene was shot and killed by an Afghan soldier while visiting the Marshal Fahim National Defense University (military academy):

An Afghan soldier opened fire at a British-run military academy outside Kabul on Tuesday, killing a US major general and wounding at least 15 other troops including a German brigadier general.

The US two-star general was identified by a US official to the Associated Press as Maj Gen Harold Greene, who becomes the highest-ranking American officer killed in nearly 13 years of war in Afghanistan. The Pentagon’s press secretary said he believed the officer was the highest ranking US military casualty since 9/11.

………

Germany’s military said 15 Nato soldiers were wounded, in an assault launched “probably by internal attackers”. Kirby said the daylight incident occurred during a “routine site visit” by US officers. The wounded included a German brigadier general, who the German military said was receiving medical treatment and was “not in a life-threatening condition.”

Needless to say, this is a very big deal, and is yet another sign that we should be getting the f%$# out.
