Caption One:  How Long Was the War in Afghanistan.  Image show pictures of a child from birth to death, captioned as follows:  Just before the war began, a child was born.  The child learned to walk and the war went on.  The child went to school and the war went on.  The child became a teenager and the war went on.  The child went to high school and the war went on.  The child became a marine and the war went on.  Just before the war ended, the child was killed by a suicide bomber.  Caption Two:  How long was the war in Afghanistan?  A lifetime.

Afterthought:

Over the last decade until the withdrawal began, the Afghan war probably got more coverage on the NCIS television show than it did on major U. S. television news broadcasts.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
