from what I have seen/read many innocent Afghan people are already dying at
the hands of the Taliban.... seems that if America goes in it could be good
for the Afghan people in the long run..... as for Americans dying... we have
already had this too.....
I was an army wife and understand what a hardship tour means..... the kids
were too young to understand at the time... but they will now.... he got the
letter Monday... and he only had 4 more months before his inactive reserve
status was up. it is possible that he could go over and die..... but as I
am sure any parent feels.... it is worth it if it keeps your children safe.
seems like the choices are few, is there really any other choice than to go
in on land?
