War in the Middle East
War has been happening since the beginning of time as far back as it could be recorded. War has no limitation as to why it is started. War has started over fighting for land, religion and freedom to name a few. From World War I centered in Europe that mainly started after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria to the current conflict in Afghanistan due to terrorist cells located in or around the country. For many people war is an unimaginable nightmare and to other it is just a way of life fighting as their historic brothers and fathers did since the beginning of time. War no doubt has many drastic effects on people and nations alike. It will cause the fall and rise of prices of many precious natural minerals such as crude oil. In Afghanistan alone the current war debt is around $552,499,482,751.00 and rising every minute! For my family and me it’s been a tradition to serve in the armed force of the United States of America for decades. I have spent years fighting war that had nothing to do with me directly but will continue to do so as long as I am still able. War to me is a horrible thing but on the other hand has taken care of me and provided for my family. Being in the army has taken me to places that I could never have imagined, paid for schooling that I might not have been able to afford and given me family and friends that will always be cherished.
On the other hand there are people in the world that think fighting and being a solider is the worst thing you could do as a human. These are the people that protest at or fallen comrade’s funerals and harass the soldiers. I do believe that everyone is entitled to their own options but I ask them this, If our brothers and sisters don’t fight for this wonderful nation who will? Without War the United States of America would not be the land of the free and the home of the brave but maybe land of the government and home of the
