Its Time Part 2

Other issue that has been affecting the U.S for more than decade now would have to be the war in Afghanistan. Since the war began on October 7, 2001 there have been about ninety thousand American soldiers fighting to protection our country. About a thousand and seven hundred American soldiers lives have been lost and about thirteen thousand American soldiers have been wounded. According to CNN over a trillion million dollars have been spent in the war in Afghanistan. Many Americans believe the time has come for us to leave Afghanistan because of the money it is costing us to fight the war, but most importantly because of all the lives that been lost. Others argue it is critical for us to continue fighting in Afghanistan to protect our homeland from anymore terrorist attacks. Clearly the American people are divided when it comes to the war, but one thing is certain we must find a way to reduce our spending in regards to the war because we have spent way too much money fighting this war and it would be almost impossible to keep funding this war at this rate for other ten years.
