Britain is finally out
of Afghanistan everyone! Prime Minister
David Cameron tweeted, "I made a commitment that I would get our Armed
Forces out of Afghanistan by 2015, and today sees the end of combat operations
in the country,"(Cameron, 1). This officially marks the end to the 13
years that UK has had their military in Afghanistan. 453 UK troops have
sacrificed themselves in Afghanistan and everyone should pay their respects to
those brave soldiers who had enough courage to fight for their country. Now all
the UK bases in Afghanistan will be taken over by the Afghan National Security
Forces and they will continue the remaining operations.
To think that after 13
years the UK military is finally leaving Afghanistan. The people should be glad
to hear such news because we have been told that our own military will also
leave Afghanistan by 2015. Now the American people must remain patient until
they hear such news. This truly is remarkable news and I hope that all who read
or are reading this article feel as overjoyed as I do. The American people
should devote at least one minute of their time to pray for and thank all the
soldiers who voluntarily took part in going to Afghanistan for their country. Lives
were lost, lives were saved, and lives were sacrificed in order to bring upon
something that people hope for and believe that it is truly their and this my
friends is peace.
