Two of the highly trained Green Beret Special forces have been identified as the Master Sgt. Jose J. Gonzalez, aged 35 and Master Sgt. Luis F. DeLeon-Figueroa, aged 31. Both the Special Forces soldiers were assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group and were killed during combat operation in Faryab Province in Afghanistan.

The recent killings of the US Green Beret Special Forces Soldiers clearly indicate that US has totally lost the Security Apparatus in Afghanistan and Taliban are now killing the US Special Forces at their will with the time and place of their choice.
