Million Dollar Military

“I don't think they should be sending anymore troops over to Afghanistan” is the opinion of my fellow classmate Michele Zeiss. Under some circumstances I would most definitely agree. The fact that I feel were just wasting our time over there could be quite obvious if you knew me as an individual. But the Militray brat that I am gives me a little more creditably. Yes the Military brat come into play because its all sides, Marines (grandpa), Airforce (Father), Navy (Uncle, moms brother) and Army (several cousins). I believe we are in this war for a reason and we sure better finish what we start. Which is the only reason I aprove of us being over there. America has a history of picking a fight or getting in the middle and as soon as were no longer fired up we want to back out and pretend as if we were never involved. This war, I feel, is partly our fault, do to the way things were handled when President Reagan was in power. Then when the twin towers got distroyed we looked for a scape goat for our displaced anger and picked a foe we considerably misjudged. We ASSumed they would be an easy target that could be taken care of quickly and then we could wash our hands of it, which never happens, and made an ass of us all. I always agreed that an action had to be taken for the massacre that took place in New York but WAR should ALWAYS be a last result not a First Choice. Seeing as we picked our battle it is now our duty to finish what we started or lose the game but there is no Honor in backing out of a deal. Though more lives will be regrettably lost and it will cost the citizens millions, I do hope we finished what we started and remember this for the future. Maybe next time we will think twice before we let our “alligator mouth over load our canary butts.”
