What the hell did we fight for? Did we drop our helmets at the door? At the door? Just like the Romans, The British, The Soviets before, now we died in the desert, just like the forces before. Forces before. When the sun shone high we pulled the troops and brought em back home to Yankee Doodle land, while we sacrificed the women to the Taliban. You can kiss education, hope and civil rights goodbye. The sun has set once again so, so long Siagon and Goodbye agan Afghanistan. Now the citizen fled to the airports trying to hitch a ride on the outside of a plane, gripping that cold metal to their chest and hoping they fall over Afghanistan, rather be dead from a fall than alive over there again. It's a sad state of affairs when we start a war and skip out on the check, Vietnam springs to mind, so let's hang our head and give thanks to Bush Obama Trump Biden I hope it was worth it? Was it really ******* worth it? I don't think so Not at all.
