We have only been bombing them and blowing stuff up for 10 years now, and they are giving up already? Yeah, we win!!

So dear America, lets look at what you won: Hatred

Not only that but a big bucket full of bloody hands!

And now our corporations, if we can just keep the Natives there from shooting us, can begin the resource extraction.

Same stuff, different day. SOS.
