How long are we going to send men and women to die there?

How long are we going to kill men, women and children there?

Eight years aren't enough? With each year more deadly than the previous year, why do we stay?

More US soldiers are dying in Afghanistan than Iraq. Afghanistan is costing more than the war in Iraq. There are more private contractors than troops in Afghanistan. The immoral war-for-profit is no different in Afghanistan than it was/is in Iraq. It is just a different scenery with a different story to sell. It boils down to the same idea, though. Be afraid, seek revenge, the money and deaths are worth it.

Where is the outrage?
