2150 Americans have died in a pointless and ongoing war in Afghanistan that the president insists on keeping, well, alive, for at least two more years. Nobody knows how many Afghans have died as to the U.S. they are not worth counting.
There are 2150 X’s below. On this Veteran’s Day, mourn them.

1in the early years of this war i was living in tamil nadu, south india .. the local tamil papers love photos, they take up space, and i would see hundreds of bomb and casualty photos from kabul and elsewhere …
that americans were not allowed to see such things tells us all we need to know about america.
that’s why the expectation of the war ending is foolish.
and do those x’s above count contractors?

4A bit of State Department Soviet fun:
THIS State Department online form for complaints to the OIG (Office of Inspector General):
http://oig.state.gov/hotline/130564.htm
…does NOT allow me to send any complaint! It just keeps backfiring my complaint back at me.
