Vanhu vazhinji muUnited States havana kunzwa chikonzero chinonyatsoita chikonzero nei hondo yeUnited States iri muAghanistan, uye vazhinji havazivi kuti iripo.
Kana iwe uchitaura zvakadaro, kuitira kuti ini ndisati ndaita zvemashiripiti ipapo, ndinonzwa ndakasununguka kukurudzira mauto eUnited States - imwe sangano iripo zvakasiyana neni - kuti ndibude ikoko.
Nyaya yacho inopfuurira ichiti:

Kana iwe ukatarisa kumusoro "Virginia War Memorial," unowona sangano kukurudzira matanho akadaro se "Muduku Svondo Mugovera" nemabasa ekurwisana nehondo kune vana vane makore 3-8. Asi iwe hauna kuwana tsanangudzo yekuti sei hondo muhurumende kana hondo yeA Afghanistan inonyanya kuve yakarurama. Kana kuti havana kuita kuti firimu yavo iwanikwe; saka hapana vaverengi vemunyori mukuru uyu vanogona kuiona, uye munyori haatauri chero tsanangudzo yehondo inogona kuwanikwa mufirimu. Pane kudaro, the Times Dispatch inotiudza kuti:

Kunyange sekutsvaga muhupfumi hweUnited States hondo iyi yave iri chigadzirwa.

Mutumbi iwoyo une zvino zvakaziviswa kuti ndizvo kuongorora kutongerwa kunokonzerwa nemhosva dzeUnited States muAfghanistan.

Icho chiitiko chinogona kubatsira kutsanangura ichi: muurayi mukuru wevarwi veUnited States muAshghan anozviuraya.
