1. None

A no-brainer.

[Ozymanithrax]

2. How many Americans should die for America's foreign policy towards Afghanistan...

that is what they are dying for. If the war could ever have been won, Bush could have done it. He chose to lose Afghanistan an inch at a time in order to invade Iraq.

3. Exactly zero. Unfortunately it's far too late for that. eom

4. None. It's beyond obscene.

5. They're dying for PR to prove "our guy" is tough.

[miscsoc]

6. none. and the people who have died

have been disproportionately from pretty modest backgrounds, and have signed up because they needed to, economically

Bring back the draft. Democracy and a volunteer army can't work together

7. What are you trying to do?

...hurt the Unemployment numbers?

America has a surplus of cannon fodder.
As long as the Jobless Recovery is maintained, there will be no problem finding fresh meat.
They are all from the Small People and UnderClasses anyway.
The only thing THEY have that is useful to the OverLords is their blood.
The Ownership Class got all their money in the 90s.
It is TRUE that you can't squeeze blood from a turnip,
but you can damn sure squeeze blood from the poor & unemployed.
QED.

Meet Hamid Karzai
or as President Obama calls him, "The Government of Afghanistan".

He was appointed by Bush the Lesser to run Afghanistan.
He is one of the most despicable criminals in The World,
But NOW we like him so much
that our children fighting and dying in the deserts of Afghanistan to keep him in power.
Our "success" in Afghanistan depends on THIS guy.
