Bringing the troops home

Beside the election is coming, the second hot topic now is the war in Iraq. I agree with Sophia in this topic. The war is happening longer than we expect. The troops are in duty longer times which mean they don’t get to see their family any time soon. Sophia made a turn point by raising two things: one is the costing of the war, and other is the lives of troops. First, let think about the food. Our troops have been eating dried foods and fairly amount of fresh foods. But it is still costing us a large amount of money. For instance, according to the National Public Radio, for every given month, the troops consume about $3 millions worth of beef steak, more than $2 millions worth of lobster tail, and more than $700,000 worth of egg rolls. This is just an example to prove what Sophia was saying about the worth of the Iraq war, nothing but costing us money. Second, let’s talk about the life of the troop for the individual and the troops for the whole. No one was born and expecting a death from war, accident or something that they never think about it. The death toll that Sophia stated in the post was huge. The number 4000 dead will not stop here; it will rise up as long as the war is not end yet. The purpose of the Iraq War is to serve peace for the people. But how many people might think and know about this purpose since many U.S troops died by the war. Families of the troops only see the war in their soul for the losing of any members in their family, and the war in Iraq for the realistic. United States Government should make a decision to bring the troops home as soon as possible. The war has been long enough to an end.
