It has come to my attention that many of my country are comparing what the United States is doing in Afghanistan to that of the Vietnam War. Perhaps that because we equate the destruction of the World Trade Center with that of the destruction of the Second Avenue Subway or the saboteurs that the Vietcong sent to this country as currently being trained in Afghanistan. Oh the Second Ave subway wasn’t destroyed by the Vietcong, nor did North Vietnam train any saboteurs to infiltrate this country. I don’t believe that we were in Vietnam to for revenge of an attack on our soil. Nor were we in Vietnam to weed out and go after those who would do harm to the civilians of America.
Those who would have us pull out of Afghanistan because they believe that wining the hearts and minds of the country and were in there to bring democracy to the country are right we should pull out. Those like me who believe that were in Afghanistan for revenge and to destroy those who are out to harm the civilians of America. We will help those who help us not by changing there mind set, but by helping them survive.
Those who would ask me when we should leave Afghanistan my answer is not until the job of revenge and safety is complete, even if it means that my great grandchildren are fighting this war hundreds of years after I’m gone.
