I know that I have become redundant on the War in Afghanistan over the past couple of months: we must stay and win the vital battle, regardless of what the economic costs are, but I just wanted to address one more Afghan related topic before returning to scheduled programming.
What about our soldiers' sacrifice?
We have fought for almost ten long years to eliminate al-Qaida training camps, obliterate the Taliban strongholds and stabilize Afghanistan's government. Over 1,500 American soldiers have fought and died for our objectives in the post-9/11 fight in Afghanistan's harsh terrain.
They have shed much blood to make our country safer and to disrupt our foes plots to attack the United States, while bringing the most precious treasure of all human existence to millions of Afghans: freedom.
Are we really going to leave before their job is done and allow their sacrifices to be completely in vain? This isn't just about winning the fight, but honoring our soldiers who gave their all to this country and this country's military objectives.
What say you?
Such sacrifice is in vain.
