Afghanistan Paper WHAT I KNOW? Americans have been fighting in Afghanistan for a while. I Believe that the reason we went over there was because of 9/11. I may be absolutely wrong on that though. From what I have heard previously on the news, thousands of Afghanistan citizens were killed in this war. My research is all about the Combat Outpost. I know absolutely nothing about it.
