Afghanistan Debate

One issue that concerns me is the issue of the troops in Afghanistan and about whether they should all come home, or if they should stay there. I’m concerned because so many families would love to be with their loved ones around the holidays, and if we go with what Romney said about keeping them there and helping rebuild Afghanistan than many family won’t be able to be with or see their loved ones. It makes me sad even when my dad has to work a double shift and I never see him throughout the day, so I can imagine how they would feel not to be able to see their spouse for month’s even years. Obama wants to bring back the troops and help Afghanistan bring on a better security so that they can protect themselves and they won’t have to keep our troops or keep putting them in danger. I feel as though this affects me because I hate to see people sad, and when I can’t help them out it makes me feel useless. On the other hand I hope people will go with Obama’s plain so many families can have their wish come true, and they can be with their family for the holidays.
