story-- final
September 11th 2001 America fell under attack and went to war. It has now been 9 years and we continue to fight. now that the combat troops are out of Iraq the new focus is on Afghanistan although it is said combat troops will start being pulled out by August 2012.
" i think we will be there in some capacity for a long time. with out continuing the training of local forced the country will fall back in control of terrorist cells." - Sergeant First Class Chris Blaurt.
"I think we went overseas for the wrong reason. We did not have enough sufficient evidence to start one of the longest wars in American history." - Gracia McCutcheon
Some of the civilians question if why we went to war was worth it.
"The fact that Iraq now has free elections make me think it was worth it in some way, however i believe that we caused more problems and hatred by going into both Iraq, and Afghanistan. If i were in charge since sept 11 2001, i would have never started this war "against terror" because quite frankly terror is not something you can fight. To fight terror is like fighting a shadow" - Gracia McCutcheon
But with the courage and will of new troops this war will get won in no time.
"hooah man I'll fight to the end no matter what. if all i have is a damn stick then I'm going haji hunting with a stick. i want to fight for my country. fight for our freedom. fight to protect our country. fight to defend the people. I'm really not scared of going. if i die in Afghanistan it will be for a good cause. at least i was fighting to survive what happens happens man. stay alert stay alive." - Private First Class Nick Lane
when it comes down to it, no one can really tell how long it will takes or how it will turn out. Lets just let our brave troops finish the battle victoriously. After all... its the american way.

script
sfc blaurt-- how long do you think this war will go on for? i think we will be there in some capacity for a long time. we will probably have troops there for a long time. with out continuing the training of local forced the country will fall back in control of terrorist cells. this is just my opinion, not the army's or anything.
pfc nick lane-- are you willing to fight this war till the end? hooah man I'll fight to the end no matter what. if all i have is a damn stick then I'm going haji hunting with a stick.
what makes you want to go fight? i want to fight for my country. fight for our freedom. fight to protect our country. fight to defend the people.
are you scared of what might happen? I'm really not scared of going. if i die in Afghanistan it will be for a good cause. at least i was fighting to survive what happens happens man. stay alert stay alive.
gracia-- should we be over there? I think we went overseas for the wrong reason. We did not have enough sufficient evidence to start one of the longest wars in American history. I also do not agree with Obama's decision to send more troops into Afghanistan, considering one of the main things he argued for in his campaign was to pull troops from overseas. I feel like we have created more hatred and terrorism towards the United States by starting this war over "weapons of mass destruction" that were never even found.
do you think this was is worth it? The fact that Iraq now has free elections make me think it was worth it in some way, however i believe that we caused more problems and hatred by going into both Iraq, and Afghanistan.
if you were in charge what would you do? It is hard to just pull out of a war that has already started. If i were in charge since sept 11 2001, i would have never started this war "against terror" because quite frankly terror is not something you can fight. I believe there was not enough evidence to start a war, and that what we are trying to fight is virtually impossible to overcome. To fight terror is like fighting a shadow- you do not know if you are shooting at an innocent civilian or someone involved with al queda. I think there are plenty of other ways we could have gone about making peace with the middle east.
