Afghan War Remains Absolutely Essential

Summary: Recently President Obama left the country to go rally troops and declair a remaining partnership with Afganistan. He said that he knows it's hard for the troops who there because they are missing their families back home but they have to realize that they are relying on them. He also said that he wouldn't keep the U.S. troops in Afghanistan unless it was essential. While there Obama had a meeting with Karazi, President in Afghan, and invited him to the white house in May. Karazi talked to the President for a half and hour and told him how grateful they are for the U.S. troops and everything they've done as well as the american people and their tax pays that have helped to rebuild their country. However, even though Obama went to discuss a few things with Karazi he said that the main reason for his travel was to visit the 80,000 troops stationed in Afghanistan. He wanted to assure them that they were making progress and that everyone back home would be notified that they are getting the security needed. Obama's final words were that "the United States of America does not quit once it starts on something."

Opinion: I completely understand everthing that President Obama is saying but im not sure i quite agree. It's hard to see families being torn apart because of the war and fathers, brothers, dad's, uncles, grandsons, having to be away from home for so long. I don't think that Obama should look as quitting but more or less that we went there and accomplished what needed to be done. These men are doing amazing and wonderful things for our country and others as well, like Afghanistan, but i feel that it is time for these heroes to be brought back home and reunited with their loved ones.
