Maybe he wanted to make a difference and stop the fanatics of the Taliban getting back into power. Chances are he lived in the real world and wasn't sitting on his armchair watching 'loose change' and other conspiracy videos 24/7.

The least you can do is respect the man who gave his life for a cause, whether you or other conspiracy nutcases believe in the cause or not!

You should be ashamed of yourself making a comment like that. You are no Warrior Singh.
