Of the 13 US troops who were killed in Kabul, at least 4 of them were just a few months old when the US invaded Afghanistan.

Their names are:

David Lee Espinoza
Rylee McCollum
Kareem Nikoui
Jared Schmitz

Many more were toddlers when it began.

It's long past time to end this.

Bring the troops home.

No "enduring presence".

No "vigilance in the region".

This is never going to end if we don't bring them home.

All of them.

There is always going to be an IS-K, or a Haqqani Network, or a Taliban, or some other new boogeyman, because the reality is the people of those countries are never going to stop fighting the invasions and occupations.

These wars are only continuing for 3 reasons:

1. Global "dominance" (which is a joke at this point).

2. Profits for the crony corporations of the military industrial complex.

3. Propping up the Fed by forcing countries to accept US Treasury IOUs as their "foreign reserves".

None of that has anything to do with our safety or defense, and our troops shouldn't be used as fodder for this nonsense.

End the wars, end the AUMF, get out of NATO, bring all the troops home and let's never repeat this garbage again.

Rylee and his wife Gigi have a baby due in a matter of weeks.

Many of these kids are leaving behind wives and kids of their own.

And for what?

I've said it before and I'm not going to stop saying it. The people who are responsible for these endless wars, and the death and devastation they've caused, are our domestic enemies.
