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?
It is hard to see a positive side to the war.So many lives have been lost and not much progression. Progress is slow and with the war zone being thousands of miles away, we have to have a hope that we are helping the less fortunate to be a little better than when we arrived 10 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe war has defiantly drug on and with little direction, but maybe there is some kind of direction to get the hell out of the war. MAYBE?
