The reasons for the War in Afghanistan cannot be blamed on one specific event but rather multiple. For the first decade of the 21st century, the United States has been sending thousands of troops into the middle east to fight against the Al-Qaeda who were seen as terrorists. The US knew that the al-Qaeda were allowed to hide in Afghanistan by the Taliban but the US did not act. They did not want to wage another war against a foreign country at the time, yet the War in Afghanistan lasted over…

War in Afghanistan – Media Perspectives by Keren Ighalo The media source I liked the best was the documentary: Waging Peace on Canada in Afghanistan by Richard Fitoussi. This media source has the most information on its topic, it gives true facts on the events throughout the war, and the documentary doesn’t cut out any important information just because it isn’t dramatic or cinematic enough. The narrator’s voiceover is scripted and provides context for the on-screen picture. The video is shot…

Land's Mayor. My ancestors arrived in Rome from Afghanistan. In the history of humanity, Afghanistan has been standing an unconquerable nation, and will stand an unconquerable nation until the eternity. Perhaps because the Afghans like the Italians and the Americans, never have and never will succumb to fear, regardless if fear echoing from a terrorist, a dictator, a ruler, or a prime minister. As of this moment, war is engaged on the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan. But this is besides the…

Psychological Impacts of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars Have you ever watched the movie American Sniper, Lone Survivor, or any other movies based on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and replayed the action scenes because “that was so cool”? If you have, your definition of “cool” severely varies from the definition of soldiers fighting in those wars. Those scenes, which may excite the average United States citizen to watch, may happen to be the memories that haunt and mentally tear apart the…

New Zealand troops have spent more time in Afghanistan then both World War One and World War Two Combined, despite this, mainstream media coverage of the war has been limited, and one-sided, government reports have relied on embedded journalism and the NZDF methods of public relations (PR), have been responsible for the upkeep of the military’s positive, peacekeeping, reconstructed, ‘kiwi’ image. While this was not untrue, it can not be considered truthful. The NZDF maintains strong connections…

The US-led Afghanistan War While some believe that the US-led Afghanistan war has gained a regional, international, and political power to The United States, in fact, it has caused many deaths to the United States Armed Forces and has forced the country to spend billions of dollars unnecessarily. The US-led Afghanistan is nothing, but a failure and it continues to be. The US-led Afghanistan war started on 07 October 2001 in retaliation for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States of…

The war in Afghanistan was originally sparked my by the terrorist attacks on 9/11. The US was determined to find Al-Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden.

holding me back. So when I was 25, America officially declared war on Afghanistan and they announced the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden after the September 11 attacks. The U.S government ordered all males below the age of 30 to join the army. I was deeply saddened that I had to leave my family all behind and join the military. Took many days to finally go to sleep without shedding any tears. Before getting deported to Afghanistan, we had to train at the…
