Lighter - Unnoticed War

Since October 7, 2001, the US has been at war in Afghanistan. The US took action and declared this war because of the attacks on the World Trade Centers on September 11,2001. Many people have let this fact slip away from them, because it has been going on for so long. It has been almost 9 years exactly since the US declared war on Afghanistan. The topic needs lamenting because many US soldiers have died in this war and we have not really accomplished the “main goal” of the war. The said “main goal” of the war is to find weapons of mass destruction and so far the mission has been unsuccessful. The war in Afghanistan has become somewhat irrelevant to the average American person. The majority of people know that there is still a war on terror but need a reminder of it every once and a while. It is upsetting to see this because we have troops of our family members and friends putting their lives on the line for us but we are not giving the proper recognition to the soldiers. This is not to say that everyone lets the war go unnoticed but the support of our troops has greatly decreased since the time of the declaration of the war.
