10 years in Afghanistan

October 7 is the 10 year anniversary of the War in Afghanistan.  The war began in reaction to the 9/11 attacks on American soil, in hopes to put a stop on al Qaeda.  Looking back on all events in relation of the past 10 years....where are we now?

There are so many opinions that go both ways.  A soldiers view, a Marine's, a Civilian, an Afghan, the lost, and those back home. As a member of a Public Service Family, I was raised in the "Firefighter Brotherhood" mentality. When the issues of terrorism came to or borders, and threatened me, took members of the unbreakable bond, I felt there was a purpose to fight back. 

That was then, this is now.  Has the War dragged on?  We got Bin Laden and his architects of the attacks, are we out staying the welcome?
