When A Soldier Is Not A Soldier Poem by Saiom Shriver

Note: The war in Afghanistan conducted by the US is immoral, illegal, expensive, harmful to the security of the US. Even were that not so, the bombing of an Afghan hospital of Doctors Without Borders by the Navy is inexcusable.
A Doctors Without Borders spokesperson spoke on All Things
Considered of NPR of the killing of 19 and the wounding of 40 in a hospital in Kunduz Afghanistan by American airstrikes. Large parts of the hospital were destroyed. The spokeswoman said that the hospital had been in existence for 4 years, that
it had served 22,000 people in 2015 so far, that reports
that 18 'terrorists' were in the building were unfounded, There were no Taliban patients in the buildiing. Even if there had been, they should have been protected by international law. She stated, that the US Government had had the hospital coordinates for several years, that the hospital was clearly marked for airplanes, and that though the hospital had called the USG 15 minutes into the attack, it did not stop for 30 minutes more.
