Afghanistan

To be honest I really don’t know much about Afghanistan. I wish I did after reading those letters we received today but I didn’t. After reading those letters it made me realize that there are many people out there sacrificing there own lives to help others out. I think this should be noticed by more people but not that many people know why they are gone, why they are fighting or even what they are fighting about. After reading this letter it made me think that the people that are gone to Afghanistan aren’t there because they have to be there, but they are there because they want to make a difference by helping others out. The girl in the letter who was a solider was so confident and didn’t complain about what was happening. She says, “The longer that we are in the theatre and the more that we actually interact with the Afghan people, the more I feel that we are serving a purpose here,” I feel that if she is happy to be there because there is a purpose to why she is there and that is that she is wanting to help the people out. Even though she knows people are dying there she still wants to be there to help out. She is very optimistic. “With the best of intentions, we have started in Afghanistan. There is nowhere where else I’d rather be right now.”
