Endless war

[SHRED]

Afghanistan is the longest running war in American history I believe I read somewhere.
How many more years and how many more lives?
Why? For what?

[TEB]

1. Military industrial complex

$$$$$

2. Its all about the money

so true.

[TEB]

3. They don't give one fuck

Example our daughters fiancé left a leg in Afghanistan or for the KIA JUST pure geeed.

4. To quote my old plt sgt

The world is a shit pond and we are just turds locked and loaded

[WinstonSmith00]

7. Thats how they mind control you

Break you down make you feel worthless and isolated and that you should devote your life to their cult of death and destruction. Our military is truly disgraceful on how it treats our soldiers. It turns men and women into mindless drones of a death machine.

8. No not my old plt sgt

He was squared away it was just us we do this for each other

5. Money. Period.

[WinstonSmith00]

6. We know its all about the money

Why do we keep electing the ones who pay for it?

Every war profiteer embezzler and their accomplices should be arrested under rico act and their assets seized and redistributed. If we took the money out of war it would be no more.

9. We are denying them space in which to plan their attacks.

That's the official word from President Obama, who stated that reason several times.

Of course, 9/11 was planned in Hamburg, Germany, and training for it was carried out in Florida and Southern California, so a war in Afghanistan would not have prevented that, but let's not let facts interfere with our narrative.

The shoe bomber was planned in Yemen and PanAm 803 in Libya but, again, let's not allow facts to get in the way of our narrative.

Bin Laden supposedly planned 9/11, actually he merely funded it and had nothing to do with planning it, and he was in Afghanistan only for a matter of days after we invaded that country before fleeing to Pakistan, but we never let facts interfere with our narrative.

President Obama, the greatest president in ten generations, has said that we are fighting in Afghanistan to deny them space in which to plan their attacks, so there you have it.
