American public learns we're still fighting in Afghanistan after Pentagon drops huge bomb there

NEW YORK — The American public learned today the U.S. military was still fighting in Afghanistan after the Pentagon announced it had dropped a huge bomb there, sources confirmed.

Just hours after the U.S. Air Force dropped a massive ordnance air blast bomb, nicknamed "the mother of all bombs," on an ISIS cave complex in Nangahar Province, a wide swath of Americans were seen with confusion on their faces over the revelation there's still a war going on there.

"You mean to tell me that we're still at war in Afghanistan? The country we invaded almost 16 years ago after 9/11?" asked Benjamin Martin, a financial advisor who, like most Americans, supports the troops 100% in their fight against the terrorists or whatever.
