“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

What are we doing in Afghanistan that was worth Brent Taylor's life?


North Ogden, Utah mayor and Major in the Utah national guard, Brent Taylor was killed in Afghanistan this week when a "friendly" Afghan commando opened fire on Taylor and others. Taylor had a family of 8 back in Utah.
Can anybody tell me what has been accomplished by us in this God-forsaken abyss in the 17 years we've been dumping money and getting killed there? What?
17 years!!! Afghanistan remains and will always be the same corrupt wasteland of misery and backward, religious zealotry that it was when we got there. Enough money and lives have been wasted there. Let the Taliban, or whichever fundamentalist tribe is strongest, have it.
Nike thinks Colin Kaepernick is sacrificing something. He isn't.
