Should The Us Pull Troops Out Of Afghanistan Essay

Improved Essays
Should the U.S pull troops out of Afghanistan? As problems across the world progress, in the United States of America we will need to decide if we will deal with other countries dilemmas. There has been a major conflict in the USA about taking our troops of the military out of Afghanistan, and bringing them back to their home country. I strongly believe that they should take these troops out gradually because; if a problem happens there will be back up, if they take them out too fast it could cause tension between the countries, and if they slowly take them out of Afghanistan they will not have troops to fight somewhere else. In the country of Afghanistan, there is many problems, but the U.S does not know if they should have troops fighting there after these many years. However, I believe that if America takes these troops out too quick, Afghanistan may become mad at the U.S for taking these fighters out of their problematic country. Although, the leader of Afghanistan could want the troops to come home, according to CNN the government is not yet willing to sign the contract. “A senior government official told CNN that a full withdrawal of U.S. troops should not be considered, declaring …show more content…
If one troop is taken back home, another will be able to be there and cover for them, and then slowly all of these troops will be taken out of Afghanistan one day. If the U.S decides to do this, I believe it will be a very smart option. “Mr. Obama noted the dangers, saying, ‘In key areas of the country, the security situation is still very fragile, and in some areas, there is risk of deterioration.’”(NY Times News). As a result, there are very rough places of Afghanistan, and we can start by taking troops out of less risky places of the country, and start taking more militants

    The film “Restrepo,” was about the experiences that a group of recruits went through while they were in the Korengal Valley, Afghanistan. After watching the film, I felt a little angry that in the end, the U.S. withdrew its troops from the valley. I am pretty sure the U.S. had a good reason for it but it felt as though all the work that the soldiers who died to make it happen, died for nothing. So my questions are what was the point in putting troops there in the first place and what was the reason for withdrawing them?…

    The Editorial Précis The Editorial Board’s article entitled, “Is the Pentagon Telling the Truth About Afghanistan” (13 October 2015), published by the New York Times, suggests that the United States Pentagon is deceiving the American public with inaccurate intelligence regarding the current military efforts within Afghanistan. The Editorial Board justifies this claim by providing contradictory testimonies from General John Campbell, who applauds the current military efforts, and two editors from The Time’s, who assert that terrorists are quickly gaining control of several areas within Afghanistan and NATO-trained solders are doing little to prevent their insurgency. The Editorial Board’s purpose is to expose the dwindling military efforts…

    Although the United States made the decision to send troops back to Iraq to help the country and its soldiers, it is best that American troops be taken out of Iraq because they need to decrease their involvement in Iraq’s war, they have spent too much money on the war from 2003 to 2011 and helping Iraq to this day. Two of the bigger reasons why the United States needs to stop sending troops to Iraq are because terrorism in the US, both domestic and nondomestic, is rising dramatically. Not only has terrorism been more efficient in the US, but their national security has not been doing a well enough job to prevent terrorists from executing their…

    I have an Afghan friend named Haisha. We met in the sixth grade at Greenfield Elementary School and became best friends. To her dismay, on April 13, 2017 our military, under orders from President Trump, dropped the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) in Afghanistan to kill Isis fighters. While I understand the President's responsibility to protect our country from its enemies, it should not be done with the blatant disregard for innocent human lives. Unfortunately, a bomb of that magnitude has repercussions on surrounding communities for years to come.…
