| Notes | As the title of this poem indicates, the war in Afghanistan is the historical context. The poem, in the third person, focuses on a soldier's expectant partner who is alerted to the fact that he has been killed by a roadside bomb. Proper nouns in the poem indicate that he was one of the international coalition troops. |
