I cannot think of one good thing that has come from our 10 years of war.

Not one thing that stands out that makes it all worth it.

Billions of dollars gone, thousands of lives lost, tens of thousands of bodies maimed...

We sold out untold opportunities for our children and grandchildren....we have spent our blood and treasure and have learned not one lesson from it.
