It's also worth mentioning that the U.S. Constitution, which every soldier takes an oath to support and defend, requires a congressional declaration of war before the president and his army are legally permitted to wage war. Yet, Congress has never declared war on Afghanistan. That means that Taylor died waging a war that is illegal under our form of government.
Unfortunately, Taylor will not be the last U.S. soldier to be killed in Afghanistan. There will be more. And there will be more lies about what they died for. When a sufficient number of Americans finally come to the realization that empire, interventionism, and national-security statism are different from God, family, and country, the American people will no longer permit their soldiers to kill and die in faraway foreign lands.
