really surprised Afghanistan people AND their government even want any USA in their country.

Obama ended the war and brought almost all our troops HOME. I don't want REPUBLICANS starting another fucking war and USA losing thousands of OUR SONS & DAUGHTERS. I don't want USA responsible for the slaughter thousands of foreign innocents.

FUCK REPUBLICANS "COLLATERAL DAMAGES"
