Why are we still there?

It is time to take a serious look at our involvement there. Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on the TV are photos of death and destruction.

Why are we still there?

The land is too large to secure all of it. The bad people causing this damage can roam anywhere, and we can't possibly police the whole place.

Why are we still there?

We occupy this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble.

Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and in the process of changing.

Why are we still there?

Refugees are fleeing by the thousands, driven from their homes.

Why are we still there??

It will cost billions to rebuild, which we can't afford.

Why are we still there?

We can't even secure the borders.

Why are we still there?

And to repeat. Every day we hear of more Americans killed in this dangerous land.

It is clear!



WE MUST ABANDON CALIFORNIA!!!

bubba, were still there because we need to mop up you dont go in to destroy a country without rebuilding it before you leave it's being responsible we have helped every country we have been in war with in the same manner.The military's mission is not to only seek and destroy, but also to rebuild. people from the u.s have been spoiled because weve always been a superior nation and now because things are a little rocky in our economy everyone get's all upset and screams what about us ,what about us?

I think Bubba Shrimp is just jealous. I've been to Florida, but I choose to live in California.
