The War In Afghanistan

         The war in Afghanistan has been a brutal war for the United States.  As we saw in the movie "Restrepo" the terrain is very mountainous, which makes it very hard for the U.S. soldiers to advance quickly.  The mountainous terrain also provides plenty of shelter for the Al-Qaeda insurgents to hide.  Another reason that makes this war so tough to fight is: the U.S. can't just go in and bomb the whole country because there are also a lot of innocent people, that had nothing to do with 911.  One positive point the soldiers brought up was; how they were glad that the war was in Afghanistan, and not in the United States.
