Rethink Afghanistan

The Afghan government lacks legitamacy and infrastructure, and we, the United States, cannot be an antidote. The U.S troops are dying for something we cannot cure.  The public opinion of the civilians and women in Afghanistan wants us to leave because they feel as if we’re exacerbating the situation; such as an invasion.  The more troops there are will mean the more casualties of innocent civilians.  We’re the reason the insurgents are joining the Taliban.  What else can they do but fight for their country instead of helping like we promised to them.  They’ve seen their homes blown up, family, etc., and they have nothing!  What other choice do they have other than to join the Taliban? Some have even come down to the desparate need of selling their children because they have nothing.  What else can they do when they’re caught inbetween a cross fire?

The Afghan government lacks legitamacy and infrastructure, and we, the United States, cannot be an antidote.  The U.S troops are dying for somethin our nation cannot cure.  The public opinion of the civilians and women of Afghanistan wants us to leave because they feel as if we’re exacerbating the situation; such as an invasion.  The more troops there are will mean the more casualties there are of innocent civilians.  They’re the cost of more insurgents to join the Taliban.  What else can they do but fight for what’s ruining their country instead of helping like we promised. They’ve seen their homes blown up, family members, etc.  The outcome is that now they have nothing.  What other choice do they have other than to join the Taliban? Some are choosing to sell their family members because they have nothing.  What else can they do?  I enjoyed this documentary because it was very informative and actually foretold facts. 

Infact, this documentary changed my overall opinion on the war. War profiteering does exist and should be illegal if not used in the right way because in the past people have been known to take pictures of things already built and make money off of them.  On the other hand, war profiteering could be a good thing like whoever’s making their uniforms, etc.  Without this documentary I’ve watched, I would not have known as much vital information as I do right now.
