Afghanistan or Bust!

It’s all over the news. Almost every week. Someone somewhere is trying to run this war. This war has had more generals than the past wars put together. And the only thing they all have in common is that they all need more soldiers. I recall a couple years ago and Army ad stating “an army is no longer measured in numbers.” That seems to really have taken them places. However, I feel that if there is significant need for such a large amount of soldiers then so be it. After all, there are almost a million soldiers serving elsewhere. Why not make them fight a war that they signed up for. I don’t mean to sound so crude about it, but if the top general is saying there is such a need then so be it. We Americans have the most powerful army in the world, and I truly believe the man leading them all should get what he asks for. Whether it be tanks, munitions, planes, ships or even foot soldiers, so be it. Let him have whatever will get our soldiers home sooner. The troop buildup is a huge number, but I do believe in safety in numbers. Shouldn’t we just send in the extra troops, let them go over and kick some butt? I understand this war has a budget, but this is going to change the shape of the world in the end, and put us closer to world peace than ever before. Like I said, if the top general feels this is the correct course of action, then so be it. He is trying to do his job, and his demands need to be met. Put yourself in his position. It’s like trying to build a house with a hammer and two nails. If you don’t have what you need, then it can’t be done. And that is exactly the position we are in.
