It's sad that these lads signed up to defend their country and ended up fighting a war and giving their lives for Zionism/American imperialism/NWO.

@passive_observer You are incorrect smart guy. No one forced England to send troops to Afghanistan, it was done purely by the UK's own volition. So they were defending their country in principle
You are an ignorant troll, try harder next time so its not so easy

I'm not a troll but the truth hurts, doesn't it?
Read the PNAC document "Rebuilding America's defenses" and get back to us.
