Pentagon deletes Afghanistan photos following ugly breakup

Girl, you can do so much better.

Filed · 0501

WASHINGTON D.C. — Friends couldn’t help but notice the Pentagon purged its social media of all photographs of Afghanistan following the couple’s recent breakup.

Sources close to both Afghanistan and the Pentagon say the 20-year relationship always seemed toxic but ended abruptly when U. S. troops abruptly departed in the dead of night last August.

“Who does that?” said Pakistan, Afghanistan’s neighbor and closest friend. “They were celebrating their 20-year anniversary in a month and the Pentagon just ghosts Afghanistan. What the fuck?”

Neither the Pentagon nor Afghanistan were “ready to talk about it” yet, but sources agree the once-promising relationship never truly recovered from America’s insistence on conducting combat operations with Iraq while still involved with Afghanistan.
