Barack Obama last night came face to face with the true cost of the war in Afghanistan, as the remains of 18 US soldiers and drug enforcement agents were unloaded from a military aircraft and returned to US soil.

Under George Bush, who launched the conflict in retaliation for the terrorist 9/11 attacks, news media were barred from observing the return of fallen troops through Dover airbase.

This is just the photo I came to tumblr to post. V. glad it’s already circulating. It’s a little late, but it’s an important recognition by the American president. George Bush stopped playing golf out of respect to the fallen soldiers. It’s nice to see our leader paying respect publically to them.
