"War Go-'Round"

President Trump will soon announce his plans in Afghanistan. The United States has waged war there for over 15 years now, with no end in sight.

The U.S. cannot leave, because our Afghan allies aren't strong enough to stand on their own. We must support them as well as train their troops to better stand up agains the Taliban. Instead, 2,000 of these trained troops defect to the Taliban every month. Essentially we are training the enemy. So why are we there? To protect the poppy fields so the CIA make money for themselves by means of the drug trade? It's not surprising to read that record amount of Americans are addicted. Death due to overdose has also skyrocketed.

The military industrial complex and Deep State want war. It's very profitable for them. They rake in the dough while the soldiers pay the price.

It's time to stop the War Go 'Round. Please, Mr. President...do the right thing. Bring our troops home and put them to work building the wall and improving our infrastructure at home.
