We have lost 20 years, 2,000,000,000,000 dollars, and 4,096 hopeful Americans... and what was it all worth?
I had never heard it, but it's a beautiful song.

in the movie "Hyena Road" a Canadian military intelligence officer talks about the history of that hell hole!
This song sounds very similar to that part in the movie!

You would think that history should have been a clue, but then again history doesn’t seem to be a strong point amongst most presidents of our nation when it comes to waging wars. Go in defeat them, then get the heck out.

I’ve said from the very beginning that the Constitution of Afghanistan is explicitly Islamic and the United States should not be supporting that.

Thought Taylor was an old lefty but that’s a great song and God gave him a great voice.

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier of the Queen!

Looks like it didn't meet Youtube's Commie Community Standards.

Both links I provided work fine. Just clicked on both to verify. Perhaps it is something on your end, what I have no clue. The video has been out there for years BTW. 🙂

Not sure what song those lyrics are from, but they are not lyrics from this song. 🙂

I'm a former Northern Virginia resident. Went to Jr. & Senior High School there. W.T. Woodson class of '70.
Give the song a try, I think you will like it.

Stand and Fight is about spiritual warfare, as I hear it.

Oh okay. I never was much of a reader back when a was a yute. Too busy chasing women & other fun things. Now my eyesight prevents me from reading. I can do it on a computer where I can increase the print & with the aid if magnifying glasses. 😋
Thanks for the exposure. 🙂 👍
