Christopher Bridge, Moving Targets, Endless War





Senior Aircraftman Christopher Bridge
Christopher Bridge and many others like him were  targets in Afghanistan – Why? When will this end? Will it ever end?

Senior Aircraftmen Christopher Bridge, aged 20, from Sheffield had been deployed on Operation HERRICK providing Force Protection for Kandahar Airfield since April 2007. His role took him into the local community to deliver enhanced security, not only for the Airfield but also for the Afghan population. At the time of his death he was providing security for his colleagues as a top cover sentry for a mobile patrol.


SAC Bridge was an extremely popular and professional Gunner. He was relatively junior in rank; however, he was immensely dependable and hard working. His infectious sense of humour made him stand out amongst other Squadron personnel and he could be relied upon to raise a smile in adversity.



If there was any remaining doubt that the infamous Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is back in charge of "foreign policy" TM, Donald Chump dispelled it once and for all with last night's call for a continuation and expansion of the already 16-year old war in Afghanistan. And have "youse guys" (New Jersey-speak for the plural of 'you') noticed how suddenly respectful and even supportive much of the Piranha Press and many of the "Never Trumpers" were of the oh-so-"presidential" TM sounding nationally televised announcement? Hmmm.   Perhaps Chump will "survive" the coup after all. If ya can't beat em', join em', eh Chump? Or perhaps, you were one of "them" all along?

 Chump's Chief-of-Staff / handler General John Kelly was puffed-up by Slime Magazine as "Trump's Last Best Hope." Undaunted by the senseless death of his own 29-year-old son, Robert Kelly, in Afghanistan, the war-monger is now leading Chump to have even more lives wasted over there. Mad Man!
 

Ogi No Mato - The Folding Fan as a Target.
This famous piece for voice and biwa (Japanese short-necked fretted lute, often used in narrative storytelling) is based on a complex legend similar to that of William Tell, in which a folding fan, instead of the famous Swiss apple, serves as the target.
