our troops

I'm doing a research paper for my school about the Afghan war

My boyfriend is expected to be one of the soldiers in the 10th Mountain Division in Fort Drum, New York. I'm super worried and I do hate the fact that we're sending a lot more men to finish this war. But as my friend said it is gonna take a lot of power to get this war finished. My family and I will be getting transfered to Fort Drum andd My stepdad will probably be one of those soldiers leaving for Afghan too.

War and this country.

WE have people over here living in the streets, can't feed their family, losing their homes and life savings and were sending millions to countrys to help them that is loaded with oil. What is wrong with us. We need to give Washington an ennemia and get rid of all the crooks. This country should come FIRST and if any is left over then we can help other countries in need but not before taking care of our own. This country is going to hell in a handbasket with the leaders we have. Money is the root of all evil.

All we are is party against party. We should be all AMERICANS

Social Studies

I think that sending our troops to Afghanistan is stupid cause all that we are is helping Afghanistan rebuild their country.When we get finished all we're gonna do is tear it back down and in the process is kill more troops!!!

Social Studies

I think that that we should stop sending our troops over there and bring the other ones home.

Oh now i understand why so many are dying

You + US army men are so angry and so scared of death that they kill every one comes in their sight. If this keeps happening then this is going to be another Vietnam. This must not be another Vietnam or we would be the first victim of this. I want to request you all to be very careful as you are not talking about a clerk's job where you have to handle man made. Be careful because you are try do what only God is supposed to do. You are talk about taking lives.

Should we support?

Should we support the war? Hey, you are so smart, tell me now, have you been in a war? Have your dad and mom or grandmother, have they been in a war or captives? Or they have been going shopping in some nice malls watching news reports after good dinner. Do you have any idea what war really is? How evil, how scary, how miserable it is. Nowadays young people do not read literature, they don't learn History. Do they have a clue about REAL HORROR of the war? They support it without any consideration.Do they know that innocent people get killed for reasons they have no idea about and the truth is unknown. Do they know a situation when their relatives fight their family.There is no excuse for the war and no excuse for those who support it. Try to Google "USA and Afghanistan news" and read the whole history of these relationships. No kidding, you wont believe it, we know so little from news reports, but times are so bad, you better stock up drinking water and canned food as soon as possible because the war in our century and with modern weapons is merciless.

agree

I think we should care how many troops go over there. There are thousands more over there all the time. Plus all the ones getting killed, we need to find a way to help this issue
