1. And when we declare "victory" and leave the place, ten years later

no one will even give a rats ass about any of it.

[Mari333]

2. their parents will. their wives and children and husbands will.

4. Do you really think they give a rats ass about Afghanistan now.

Most likely all they care about is that whoever they have over there comes back. Other then that do you think any of them wonder what the future of the place will be?

[Mari333]

6. no I know they dont care about the future of that damned place

they just want their kids home, and safe.
and I want them all home and safe.

as for the corporatists who profit from these occupations

I cannot say on here what I think should be done to them. It is probably against DU rules.

3. quit complaining, the wars in Pakistan and Iran havent (officially) started yet

granted the Iran war will be little mushroom clouds....

7. Don't forget Yemen. I mean, I haven't checked into whether or not Yemen is of strategic importance

or whether it has oil. But if it does, then don't forget Yemen.

5. Cannon fodder for ambitious politicians. K&R

this boy died for nothing.
