We live in a world full of war. By being a U.S. citizen, our wars are different than most as my generation has never had to experience a war on our home soil. I get up, go to work, come home. Imagine if you had to dodge mortar shells, step lightly looking for mines, or wear bullet proof vests just to go to work or school.
Unfortunately, many Afghans and Iraqis have to experience this. But never fear! The United States will save you!
Why? Why are we fighting for a country that is almost 7000 miles away? What is the U.S. to gain? Oil, Land, Gold, Coal, what? Is there a secret buried treasure that we the public don’t know about?
I personally think we have enough drug rings entering the country and terrorist organizations breading on U.S. soil that would deserve much more attention than people who have historically been fighting for years and will continue to fight.
