That’s what this is. That’s all.

I wont lie that there are many underlying factors that are not known to the general public, and that politicians and influencial people have had their noses in what is now the war in Afghanistan. Furthermore, that all these past actions have brought us to the point where we are today is a matter of fact. No question. Many past dealings with the situation have directly contributed to where we are today.

That being said…is the above really your foundation for pulling the troops out?

Does the fact that about over a 100 men currently hiding out in Afghanistan and Pakistan have armies of people willing to do anything for them. Doesn’t it scare you that they don’t want to talk, negotiate or want peace? Their single and only purpose is to kill anyone and anything non-muslim.

That’s why Canandians are here. To find these men that have no regard for humanity, life, and anything other than their own personal underlying gain. While you may argue our own governments (especially the USA) have the same type of politics, meaning they only care about their own personal gain; the leaders of the Taliban are killing, executing all which are not directly supporters of them.

You may argue that other wars are going on in other countries and that we are not involved. Have you ever wondered about that. Think about it!!! Other wars are directly affecting their own country…not others. In those wars, Canada is sending financial help and aid but will not participate in the physical war. Afghanistan is different because their extremist views have leaked on our own soils. They are no longer content with exterminating life in their own contries, they are now coming to us. And they will continue to do so until they have completely wiped out civilization

Have you been in Afghanistan. Have you sat down with a nice cup of Chai and talked with Afghans? Have you heard from their mouths the tragedies that have happened to their country because of these men?

99% of Afghans are content with the situation of having and getting military and international aid. The ones which aren’t are the ones directly supporting extremist Mullah’s and Taliban/Al Qaeda leaders.

I have been in Afghanistan for 2 and half years. I have heard the stories. I have witnessed the heartache. I have felt the gratitude of the Afghan people. I have seen smiles on their faces when I told them I am Canadian. The respect Canadians have in this country is beyond belief.

Our troops are doing so much more than you will ever know. I have sat with Canadian troops in Kandahar, Kabul, Camp Bastion (covert base in southern afghanistan). I have heard their stories. I have heard of the friends they have lost. But I have also seen in their faces that they know they are here for a purpose. They too have spoken with Afghans, they too have seen the damage this Taliban regime has inflicted on the people. One soldier in particular told me he knew he would have psychological problems coming of this with all the horrors he had witnessed…however, he still wants to be there, protecting his family back in Canada of having these extremists gaining power and attacking us on our own soil.

I have dodged bullets, barely escaped IED’s (Improvised Explosive Devices) survived VBIED (Vehicles Bearing Improvised Explosing Devices). Why do you think this was? For the simple fact that I am not muslim.

Get yourself educated about the real reason we are here. Find out first hand why we are here. Yes we may be here because of the past…but the future wont be there if we don’t fix mistakes of the past.

If you want to come over I will gladly show you around. I will have you speak with elders, townfolks, and real live soldiers. Not the soldiers that sit at desk in secure camps and never see the big picture. The guys that actually do the grunt work.

Step away from researching convincing articles and start thinking/acting for yourself. Then let’s talk.
