Never Forget the War Dead

2996 Dead. Never forget. 1,033,000 Dead. 4,424 American Soldiers Dead. Saddam replaced by ISIS $6 Trillion in Debt Spending FORGET 173,000 Dead 2,403 American Soldiers Dead. Taliban replaced by more Taliban FORGET.

A collage contrasts the “Never forget” remembrance of 2,996 deaths in the September 11 attacks with the much larger death tolls, American military casualties, debt spending, and limited political change associated with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The punchline is the sarcastic contrast between solemnly remembering one tragedy and telling people to “FORGET” the consequences of subsequent wars.
