    SAS soldier Sean McCarthy killed in Afghanistan

    AN Australian soldier has been killed in a roadside bomb attack in Afghanistan.

    Defence chief Angus Houston today said Signaller Sean McCarthy, 25, was from the Perth-based Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) and had been on his second tour of Afghanistan.

    He was killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) which also injured two other Australian soldiers and a soldier from another country at 3pm (AEST) yesterday.

    He is the sixth Australian soldier to die in Afghanistan since 2002, and the second this year.

    "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

    “Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White
