If we lowered the flag every time one of our brave soldiers died, it would never see the sun again.
Bring them home.
Is it just me or does it just seem wrong that dumbass politicians have the last word on the deployment of our troops?
Why bring them home? We are making progress in Afghanistan. The part that the CF is currently securing has been reconised as the safest part of Afghanistan. Obviously doing a good job.
They always want to be there, and fully accepted the the chances they might die there. otherwise they would not have applied. It's warfare, people die. When I join the CF in a year or less. If I get to see action, and I if I die in Afghanistan. I don't want my death to be another excuse for some body to pull troops out.
From the CF Members I talked to, have one living in the next street from me who is a family friend and served two terms in Afghanistan and others. They had some bad times in Afghanistan that they regreted. Wish they did not do, or see certon things. However they are proud of the good things they accomplished there, which made everything else worth it.
I fully do not support Iraq, because such a poor job has been done there and pretty much no progress has been made. But it doesn't make sense to pull out troops when we have been making a lot of progress. Not only would that make us cut and runners, and all the good we done there will just be turned back into what it was just because some Citizens diddn't like the war and all those Afghanistan Civilians have to go back to there wartorn country.
Not to mention, all those dead soldiers you were talking about. Would have died for nothing.
