Three NZ soldiers (two men and a woman) killed in Afghanistan, arrive home and are saluted by their comrades.

If you must discuss the merits of the Afghan war, this is not the place; PLEASE start your own bloody thread.

A very sad time for our comrades across the Tasman.

Thank you New Zealand for your sacrifice.  Warriors are needed, and this Vid shows warriors. 

God Bless you all.

I have witnessed some haka in my time but that one was the most moving of all.

Thanks for that.

If you've not seen it, I recommend the movie "Taking Chance".

It shows the tremendous care and respect shown to the fallen in the US.

I found it on Pirate Bay - well worth a download.

NZ Heroes and Warriors, this what the word "respect" should really be used for.
