Commitment To Afghanistan

Every day someone’s child, spouse, sibling or parent makes the courageous decision to join the United States Army. This is something less than one percent of Americans ever do, this takes a special person to become a defender of the Constitution. Of those defenders, how many of them have deployed to a combat zone, most specifically Afghanistan? The United States military has spent over 10 years in Afghanistan. Soldiers and families are beaten and tired after this decade of combat and losses no one can even understand. These losses and brokenness is why it is time to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and bring them home in a steady and slow pattern or increments. Closing out a combat and war zone takes a lot of planning, preparation, training and cooperation from all Allied forces and host nations; Afghanistan is no different. A decade of war needs to come to an end and Afghanis need to take charge of their country and people and stand on their own two feet.

Soldiers are often considered robots, meaning they have no real concern about the battle they are fighting. This is not true, especially in the case of the war on terrorism. If one were to ask a soldier what he thought of the war in Afghanistan, he would immediately tell you that it is a necessary war to keep the United States safe from the terrorists. Unfortunately, Americans do not think the same way soldiers or the families of soldiers do. Most Americans believe the war is a waste of time, money, and American resources. This thought process is not only wrong, but completely unfair to the troops serving. The Afghan war cannot be won by fighting or blood loss, but the war can and will be won by American occupation in Afghanistan.

Often, soldiers come home and cannot conform to society the way they would have if they have not left to go to war in the first place. In this story, characters are introduced to end up being shot, the enemy sniper, the old woman, and the turret man. In paragraphs 23 and 24, it states that “he was frightened back to his senses by the shock. His nerves steadied. The cloud of fear scattered from his mind and he laughed.

Yes of course it was, however there was nothing left for me in Afghanistan. I chose to leave my home town, leave my country which was stained with so many amazing memories of great people, family, friends, and neighbors. Unfortunately they were only memories because they had all fled or Taliban murdered them all. That was ultimately why I chose to leave, there was nothing but horror left, while it was difficult it was necessary.

Afghanistan’s government is in a state of chaos and it is America’s fault. After the attacks on September 11, 2001, America quickly reacted and fought the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden; taking then out of power. The problem with that, is the Taliban were the ones keeping Afghanistan stable. America has tried to stabilize the Afghan government but has failed due to: the constant violence and acts of terrorism, the many ethnic groups and their conflicts, and the rough, mountainous geography of the country.

Though they changed a few of their rules slightly,In Afghanistan there are lots of things that are going on that ruin the country’s name. There is violence, population attacks, suicides, sexual harrasments, etc; and who can forget about the famous Taliban group. These are some of the reasons why Afghanistan is a dystopian country. Lots of people have suffered death wise in Afghanistan around 2015. They most likely died because of either to Taliban’s bombing or a natural disaster, such as an earthquake or hurricane. They attack people who do not deserve it, but they all think that whoever is different from them should have to pay for it. Women in Afghanistan are treated differently than men because of the Taliban. The Taliban is over control

In a small, crumbling, mud building, deep inside Afghanistan, a few mullahs sat, drank tea and discussed the future of their country. They watched their homeland plunge into disarray after the withdrawal of the Soviet army and downfall of the Soviet-backed government. Additionally, they witnessed corruption, bloodshed and fellow countrymen living a life other than the prophetic way prescribed in the Hadith. It was with these realizations, and determination to cleanse their homeland, a movement would be in motion that would forever change a nation, while also having a worldly impact. These few men came to be the founders of what the modern world now knows as the Taliban, initially a group who saw themselves as purifiers of an Islamic life gone astray. Through the use of personal experiences, first-hand interviews, published reports and guides, including books written by subject-matter experts, Ahmed Rashid presents factual evidence for accuracy in order to establish significant historical relevance in the book, Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia to depict the uprising of the Taliban in a post-Soviet Afghanistan. Throughout the writing of this book, Ahmed Rashid conducted numerous interviews with former Taliban commanders and mujahideen to give the average person an inside view of not just who the Taliban is, but simply what it is. His book goes into great detail about the history of the Taliban movement ranging from topics of its origins, to how

The loud sounds of flying planes over me reminded me one of the scariest things I've seen on tv crashing in a plane. I didn’t want to even go near the plane but I had to my parents paid thousands for me to go on this trip so I stepped forward on the flimsy bridge that connects the loud airport to the metal coffin plane. I knew I was a wimp but I had enough respect to do what my parents wanted me to do. "Flight to Las Angeles now departing." Were those the last words I would hear besides me screaming to my death? The plane took off it wasn’t bad at all maybe I wouldn't die but time will tell. After an hour on the plane I realized I was going to be ok. Two hours had passed and I really enjoyed this then over the loud speaker, "Now landing in Las Angeles please tighten seat belts as we land." The pilot stated. The landing, the death of me? But when we touched the ground it wasn’t bad felt a mild bump that was all more fun than scary. On the way off the plane I looked into the cockpit that might be me one day. That was the day I came over my fear of planes and actually made me want to be a pilot soaring over the skies seeing the tiny people this became my dream.

The method that I propose to end the conflict currently occurring in Afghanistan is essentially a continuation of what has been going on in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban and the creation of the current Afghani government. The current approach is an attempt by NATO forces in conjuncture with the Afghani army to force the Taliban to come to the negotiations table to discuss peace. While this is occurring an effort is made to aid the Afghani government with progressing and becoming a successful and industrialized nation.

The moment when the plane landed to a stop, I did not know what I was getting myself into, and this significantly changed my life forever. The moment I stepped out of the plane I could feel an overwhelming stress upon me that I felt responsible for, from the stale-stuffy scent of the air, realizing how massive the earth truly was. The “big giants” with differentiating skin colors, and the amount of stress that I had to deal with in order to be become accustomed to this striking world.

Afghanistan is a mountainous region in Central Asia that is home to more than 30 million people, with a history that goes back thousands of years. Some of the biggest events that occurred in Afghanistan’s history are the Soviet-Afghan War that stretched over ten years, the rise of the Taliban and the establishment of the newest constitution that was put in place to help aid to the recovery of Afghanistan. The state of Afghanistan has undergone many events throughout its history with each event setting the stage for the following one. Since it has always been a country with little stability within its government it is vulnerable and weak which makes it easier for other countries or groups to take control.

The light to put our seatbelts on glowed as the captain spoke to us and flight attendants acted out safety instructions. At take-off my stomach was filled with butterflies, but I wasn't scared. My body was pushed into the seat but I pretended I was the captain of a fighter jet. When we were stable I discovered that flying wasn't that bad. And the ocean looked beautiful out the windows! I put on my CD player until the played the in-flight movie, Planet of the Apes. I didn't like it so I kept listening to my CD player all the way through dinner. I fell asleep but the sound of the captains voice woke me. He was telling us there was an hour left of the flight. Flight attendants asked us to stow away our bags and prepare for landing. Butterflies were fluttering in my stomach again as I anticipated the landing. I felt the plane lose

I woke up from my nap when I felt a light tap on my shoulder by my brother, Alex. He told me that it was time for the plane to begin its descent so I gathered my belongings and adjusted my seat until it was upright. As the airplane began to descend, I was filled with excitement and enthusiasm. I could feel so much energy rush through my veins as my ears popped and I finally heard the flight attendant say, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Singapore Changi Airport!”

We were 10 minutes from landing and I could see the beautiful Summer trees of Maryland. I could see the airport because we had to circle it a few times because of runway traffic. Now we were getting ready for landing and we were lining up and starting to descend more. My ears were hurting the worst they had every hurt when the planes descended. It was windy in Maryland that day and our plane was so small. When we were landing the plane was rocking back and forth and back and forth. The landing made me feel sea sick.

Afghanistan for years now has turned into be the talk of the century. In that nation there has been a battle ground of altering associations, betrayal, and participation of foreign rudiments at the expenditure of the political, financial and social tragedy of the zone. Thoughts for instance 'the enemies yesterdays from are today's friends; the friends that are of today are tomorrows enemies' have frequently been knowledgeable in the due course. Issues for instance changing royalties from the Mujahideen to the Taliban, decisive the possibility of the concluding in the long and short run, and observing all of the substitutes to this plan, need an accepting of the old contexts, and predominant conditions. Was having the support for Taliban the most promising choice? Could there not be a better substitute for Pakistan in order for them to achieve the same benefits that it had plans to attain with the Taliban governmental monopoly in the neighborhood? With that said, this paper will support the theory that suggests defeating a terror group with force, and using economic incentives to turn the populace against them, thus removing their base of support.
