Afganada was one of the last radio dramas produced by the once very fine Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Radio Drama department. I'm posting the first of three episodes you can find at Archive.org. Apparently you can hear the entire series at i-tunes, though I haven't tried the link.
It's a story of Canada's involvement in the United States' long war declared on the poor country because the country that financed and aided the terror attack on September eleventh was the rich dictatorship of Saudi Arabia, which is now doing through Republicans and Trump some of what they wanted to do through financing and aiding that attack, destroying America through buying Trump and Republicans. America is its democracy or it is just another dirty, seedy nation state under oligarchic fascism, like the countries Trump went to this month expecting to get lots of money from them, which he did.
In trying to decide what to post on the damaged and sullied and should be solemn holiday of Memorial Day, I thought, given Trump's attacks on the best friend the United States has ever had, it would be best to remember the Canadian and Afghan veterans of what was our war and our fight. Canadians died in fighting and attacks, both military and civilians, many were injured including those who sustained permanent injuries, many came back with the same range of health issues that others who answered America's call in what turned out to be the longest war in our history. It should be remembered that the first Canadians killed in Afghanistan weren't killed by the Taliban or other factions on the ground there, they were killed when the United States bombed a training exercise, the pilot thinking it was an enemy operation, the Tarnak Farm Incident. Remember that when you hear Trump and Republican-fascists talking trash against Canada.
