troops should come home

@chisa96 Said

i think its way past that due time as well... there are a people over there though, that dont want to withdraw... it would be like their buddies who died there died for nothing then... they want to stay until something is accomplished to give the deaths validation...

i can see their point... though i doubt anything will be accomplished thats worth even more lives...

but then again, ive never been there, so what do i know...

I kind of look at it this way.
Even though the war is un-finished and there are risks involved (as there is to everything) we are soon to have a new president who claims he will lead us in a different direction, so why keep fighting for something that was by the will of an older leader who's direction he wanted to lead us in (which in my opinion) is opposite?

I think we have done all we can do for them, besides rebuild what we have torn down. I mean, how many years have we been there, and what do we have to show for it?

@chisa96 Said

im just saying... if i was actually fighting over there... i dont think i would want to leave... its such a mess still, and we've sacrificed so much, but nothing is finished yet... as is, i have lost nothing to the war, so i say get the hell out...

its like poker... you start in with a big bet... but then you realize you're not gonna win the hand... its still hard to fold when youve already put money into it...

We cant just suddenly withdraw, it has to be done very slowly. Most of the troops are there simply to try and keep the peace and some order and to teach people how to carry on with life and help rebuild. A soldier does so much more than killing.

I think this year we will see the begin of the clear up for now, until the next time.

Do you think they really want us over there though?

i believe it is time for all uk and usa troops to be withdrawn from the middle east conflicts,i feel in the present climate of hostilities,these countries should now be left to resolve their own problems, too many lives have been lost from our brave servicemen/women, and for what?

this region will never know peace, withdraw now and let them implode.
