Everyone has their own opinion on this subject and they each have their own reasons for thinking what they do. I don’t think that any soldiers should be in Afghanistan. The reason that the American soldiers went to Afghanistan in the first place was to get revenge for 9/11, which in itself is never a good reason to start a war, but even after they got their revenge they are still there. I know that the Taliban is a major issue in Afghanistan because of the repression of the people and taking away their basic human rights but if Osama bin Ladin had not launched a terrorist attack on America they would have never gone over to Afghanistan. The Afghanistan people may not like having other nations in their country and may not like what they are doing there. What is they decide to turn on the people that are trying to help them. While I understand that they are trying to help, because of this war there are children without a mother or father and parents and spouses grieving the loss of loved ones and others trying to sleep at night never knowing if they will ever see their family member again. I think they all the soldiers in Afghanistan shout come home and that we should try to help them in a different way.

Cost Of War
Everyone knows that a war costs money but just how much is it costing the taxpayers. Each country will have a different amount that the war costs them. for Australia every troop in Afghanistan costs tax payers one million dollars. If you go to this site there is a news story about the cost of the war and what it is expected to reach.
the total cost of the war to america and going up every second is over four hundred billion. if you go to this site it has the cost every year and of the different wars.
