The United States Department of Defense lists 2,462 servicemembers as having died in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Freedom's Sentinel. Of these, 1,926 were due to hostile action and 536 non-hostile.

United States military casualties in the War in Afghanistan - Wikipedia

On behalf of all the veterans of this conflict, fuck you.

Those needless military casualties are equally on the hands of our elite and their shares in arms companies.

And think of the Afghan people themselves. They don't know peace because of us.

You got me! I'm the head of Exxon, and Raytheon, I also manufacture opioids on the side. I'm all about empire.

Fuck the 250,000 Afghanis that died.

No you’re just a thoughtless clod who said something stupid on the internet. Try not to enjoy being called out on it.

Keep pretending Captain Amerika was saving the Afghans.
