Two Americans Die in Afghanistan
Source: Star-Tribune

The NATO-led force in Afghanistan said two more U.S. troops died in Afghanistan, bringing to 43 the total number of Americans killed this month.

One American was killed Wednesday after an improvised explosive device detonated in southern Afghanistan. A second was killed in an attack in the east. No other information was released.

Last month -- with 44 U.S. military deaths -- was the deadliest of the war so far for Americans.

1. On the flip side...
The Afghan cannabis is putting downward pressure on the market, making marijuana more affordable for cancer patients. See, thats your silver lining. Oh, and don't forget a few corporations that make war toys are securing some killer contracts (good for domestic manufacturing). Go war

6. Stop this War
Stop this War in Afghanistan before it escalates into a full scale Vietnam. How can Obama support a war that cannot be won? Afghan culture is different from the West and we must accept that and PULL OUT NOW!

7. That is what happens when you escalate a war....
you sentence more young men (and women) to die.

The bloody deaths in the desert sands of Afghanistan will be in vain.

No Military Objective + No Exit Strategy = Senseless Death
