A Sad and Shameful Day

“Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” George Santayana.

My thoughts are with the families of all UK and NATO servicemen and women who gave their lives or their health, together with the thousands of Afghan dead and broken, over the last 20 years, for this.

I thought the same day when we headed to the middle east under Bush and said we would be years there just like Vietnam and everyone said I was crazy.

@joansmor Sadly, it was inevitable. Such a high cost in human misery.
