Is it me, or does it look as if this dog is grieving (like dog knows what this symbol of the soldier means)? I find myself hoping dog got past this loss

One of the most pointless wars US fought. Right after giving Russians a war they could not hope to win in hostile Afghan mountains.
I’ll never understand the logic behind invading a land known to be graveyard of civilizations, with an example of costly defeat of USSR in living memory.
