How Long Is Too Long To Stay In Afghanistan?

Towards the end of 2011 and this early part of 2012, our government spoke of the U.S.
military adjusting their role & troop levels in Afghanistan. After being at war in this country since the early 2000's, and seeing success with the Iraq War officially ending, it's definitely time to depart Afghanistan. America and its troops can't stay there forever, and they definitely don't want to wear-out their tentative welcome in a hostile region.

Occupying a foreign country too long can get annoying for that country's residents. Both sides may start to get on each others nerves and have communication break down. Then, add in the War on Terrorism happening around you at the same time, and tensions have no choice but to boil over. With all this said, the problems are deeper than a strong and indefinite U.S. military presence amongst Afghan citizens and extremists everyday. But staying past the "best if used by" date doesn't help either.

The 1st quarter of 2012 has saw unnecessary violence in Afghanistan against civilians and American soldiers. Last month a group of Afghan adolescents were inadvertently killed by a airstrike initiated by U.S - NATO forces. February also harnessed violence against U.S. - NATO soldiers who were killed by meaningless sneak attacks from Afghan soldiers who were supposed to be colleagues and allies. In addition, more American soldiers were killed by Afghans in retaliation for an accidental defacing of the Quran by American troops.

While time passes each year until the war is over, U.S military personnel is shifted in and out of Afghanistan to strategize, give needed time away, and complete service terms. The sooner the war is over, the better. This way troops can return to their families and the U.S. economy will be strengthened without having the financial burden of the war, and having a bigger pool of resourceful citizens. Time will tell when this war ends.
